Looking forward to a review of Groundhog Day; in terms of PQ and sound. Its one of those films I can watch over and over, but I am curious how it comes out in BD.
Sorry, I can't recommend it.
The film was shot fairly soft focus, so although the transfer is reasonable, it really doesn't look much better than the DVD. I never noticed anything in video detail or quality that popped out. Colors are muted, although I think that is intentional.
It advertises TrueHD audio, and the dialog is clear. However, the only action from the rear speakers is during the crowd scenes at the ceremony and at the party at the end. 90% is center channel only. Ambient is not generally expanded beyond the center channel. Music usually goes to a stereo mix and sounds good, but there really isn't that much background music in this film.
The supplements are presented in glorious SD stretchovision.
If you already have the 15th anniversary DVD, I don't think you will see any new value added here. If you don't have the anniversary edition, the supplements may be worth something, but wait for it to be on sale for $12.
