The Omen (Blu-Ray Collection), can't find reviews
I have been searching HTF and the web for any reviews of this box set. Can't find any of them. Let alone the stand alone BD release of "The Omen" by itself. I am on the fench on the this one. I realy wanted to read some reviews on it first before I pull the trigger. Any ideas?
Thx.

Just finished with the original Omen...tons of halo effects and smeared colors. At one point the staircase banister looked like it had ghosted into a duplicate. Bright colors (yellow taxi, white) look really soft. Pretty poor transfer all around. Sadly, my LG 200 can not tell me what encode it is, but I would not be shocked to find out its MPEG2.

his pictures and comments about the shoddy job on the box set were none too encouraging either |

Re: The Omen (Blu-Ray Collection), can't find reviews
Recieved my copy of The Omen collection the other day and I was totally shocked at the very cheap packaging the discs came in.I don't know what Fox were thinking but the box is just about the cheapest looking and feeling thing i've ever seen,very flimsy indeed.I was expectring something at least like the Die hard collection box but this is beyond a joke.I've seen sturdier packaging on a snickers!

Re: The Omen (Blu-Ray Collection), can't find reviews
I only purchased the original Omen, as the other films are of no interest to me. But I did see the thread on DVD Talk concerning The Omen Collection packaging, and if you are at all familiar with the horrendous packaging used on the Battlestar Galactica HD DVD set you will 'run for the hills' when you it.

Those awful foam hubs should be banned. Even if I was interested in the whole set, I wouldn't buy it on principal alone. No film series deserves that kind of treatment. |

I like the second one as well. When he found out who he was and started to use his power.
