MGM's new Blu-ray of The Princess Bride is a stunning upgrade from standard definition. For those who have not yet discovered this brilliantly told fairy tale from the pen of screenwriting legend William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men, Marathon Man) you're in for a treat.
Both image and audio are delivered in proper fashion, replicating the cinema experience.
Short, sweet, simple. A necessity for any serious film library.
From a purely distribution perspective, I applaud the decision to release an SD disc along with the Blu-ray. This mix of formats is beginning to appear in a handful of new releases, and I'd much rather see an extra disc used for this purpose than for viewing on one's iPhone, as it enables those considering the move to Blu-ray, who do not have a previous release of the film, to have to acquire the best of both worlds and not force an upgrade.
Highly Recommended!
