Star Wars (1977)
Watching it on Blu-Ray for the first time was a thing of beauty via QLED tech. Scenes were so pristinely clear and little sequences i love such as R2D2 making his way through Jawa canyon came across so vibrant.
The final space battle certainly benefits from George Lucas sprucing it up and looked wonderful in HD but the rest of the film doesn't on the whole have the gritty edge that the original cinema version has on the early dvd. It's not helped by embarrassing little vignettes with assorted poorly rendered CGI creatures during the Mos Eisley chapters.
Next time i watch it i'll watch the cinema version on dvd until the Millennium Falcon arrives on Yavin moon then switch over to the Blu-Ray disc for the last half hour.
