Well folks last night I decided to watch the London Eye Blu Ray and it wasn't a total disaster after all. I listened on my 5.1 headphones and despite it not being in 5.1 it actually sounded a lot clearer than the DVD 5.1 mix surprisingly. Iris' drums and Linda's sax seem more prominent. You could notice a few sound blips along the way but I think they were probably on the DVD too. The synch between picture and sound was out in a few places but I also think that was the case on the DVD too. The picture quality was very good and sharp and I am not sure but I thought there were a couple of shots that I did not remember seeing on the DVd but that may just be me having not watched the DVD for some time.
So overall not a complete failure and who knows, they may have felt that the original 5.1 mix was not that good and decided to do it this way. If that was so then they should have mentioned it on the sleeve notes though.
All in all I am giving it 7 out of 10.
I will watch the One Night In Space one in a few days and will report back on that too.
Then I will leave it up to you whether to go for them or not.
May be worth buying one and seeing what you think and if you don't like it don't get the other.
Would be nice to hear someone else's thoughts on the overall production as I don't want to be to blame for putting everyone off it when of course you may not agree with me.
Give it a go someone and let me know what you think.
