Syriana is my 25th HD title.
I currently have no BD software, nor a BD player.
While BD may come around, and Sony certainly has the technological abilities to bring the pieces together, it simply isn't ready for prime time, and should have been held off the market until at least the majority of the technical problems were worked out.
HD is in a far superior position, and although I have no means of decoding the HD tracks, and play them ported to DTS 7.1, everything else seems to be running smoothly. An upgrade for my Lexicon will shortly solve the audio shortcoming.
For my 25th HD DVD, Syriana couldn't be more suitable.
An incredibly densely scripted political drama, Syriana forces you to keep up with the storyline, plots and sub-plots.
Close your eyes for a moment, and you can find yourself lost.
After seeing the film theatrically, and then on standard resolution DVD, I find the HD version a technical marvel.
Each and every bit of resolution, density, color and shading that was in the 35mm print via the 2k DI is found and translated via the HD disc.
One a strictly technological basis, one of the attributes of the system that I'm finding myself enjoying more and more is the ease and simplicity of the new HD menu interface. Things couldn't be easier.
For those still holding out for perfection...
We're there.
Very Highly Recommended.
