3 out of 5 stars beautiful spectacle   November 24, 2008

beautiful spectacles with an incredible production. But the quality of the image leaves to desire!exactly being blu ray


5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Cirque du Soleil selection!!!   November 22, 2008
One of the better Cirque du Soleil performances. If you like their stuff, I'd adsvise buying it. And the Blu-Ray version is visually amazing. I don't have the whole 5.1 or 7.1 setup...so I can't really comment on that. But all the Blu-Rays I've watched do sound a lot crisper and clearer even with just my TV speakers!


3 out of 5 stars High video and audio quality but weak on what makes Cirque Du Soleil special   September 26, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

The thing I enjoy most about my collection of Cirque Du Soleil DVDs is the magnificent music and how well it complements the marvelous circus acts. Cotero, though, just didn't come through. Only two acts really reached the heights I expect of Cirque Du Soleil. The rest seemed to be composed of angels floating around acting heavenly. The audience seemed to agree with mostly polite applause throughout the show.

More pragmatically, I was really annoyed by Japanese only subtitles. The specifications say the audio is in English, but the lyrics most definitely are not, and the spoken English was heavily accented making it difficult for me to understand. It looks like the Blu-Ray was made for the Japanese market and then sold on the American market without any effort spent to upgrade it. I would love to know what they are singing about! Every DVD of theirs I have does not have an English translation of the lyrics.

Audio and video quality were top notch, but Cotero isn't going to be one of my favorites.



5 out of 5 stars Great transfer, worth the time.   September 21, 2008

Another one of those Blu presentations that had the customers watching for upwards of 20 minutes in the store. I was worried about how the grain/darklit features would look on the display, which in turn would have people asking that dreaded First Knight question of "are all the BDs that bad?"...but after watching the entire presentation several times on a standard/non-tweaked setting LCD - I was surprised how great it looked.

The colors come thru vibrantly and contrast nicely with all of the dark backgrounds. The horse scenes and golf tee sequence look outstanding for testing line clarity with bright colors. The multi-color light/reflection sequences looked great and people were commenting often on how great the color looked for an indoor presentation.

The sounds were adequate for a compressed channel display - and of course came through beautifully on a 5 channel set I tried later. Even on the plasma display I was pleased with how the darks/grays looked.

The special features are all from the DVD except for the subs (I believe) as they are shown in 12 languages. The BD disclaims that the overall grain structure was retained for this presentation, but I think the whole performance looked great in HD and I am not sure why another reviewer had color problems, they looked perfect across the board.



3 out of 5 stars Cirque's first time on Blu-Ray plagued by darkness!   September 18, 2008
 3 out of 7 found this review helpful

Having viewed most of Cirque's DVDs, I had high hopes for Corteo since it could utilize the technical merits of Blu-Ray, better picture and sound. Well, the better sound definitely came to fruition, and is a real winner. Where this disc falls down is in the picture, but it's not because the video quality is poor or there was a poor encode, the set for Corteo is simply too dark. Practically the entire Corteo show presented on Blu-Ray is dark with muted colors.

Bottom line, great show in person and great show you cannot see on Blu-Ray.
