Just powered it down with the disc still in and restarted it, then all good. I've found that I'm using this workaround on a few recent releases. BTW, I'm using the latest official firmware.

Maybe a factor, the HPATDH BD has 110 files in it's stream directory, the last disc I looked at had just 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried that, didn't work, ended up playing it in the old PS3 that must have firmware at least 2 years old.........go figure. This one is mixed very heavily into the surrounds, not just on the effects but the music score is really pushed in there.

betty boop Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 hmm, we're planning to watch this one on the sony 5000es. fingers crossed no probs. or we're going to be pretty dissapointed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACCA350 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah, the ending on this one is definitely not fulfilling for the 2 hours spent, it really feels like they chopped the movie in the middle and chucked us the first bone. There's probably an hours worth of mutton filling in there that would have been left on the cutting room floor had they kept it as one movie, and honestly they should have just left it on the floor Rather disappointed to be honest, even the kids were loosing interest when the pace drew to a standstill.

betty boop Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 worked on the sony 5000es. we're only half way through the movie, and so far good pace. I must say audio wise this is a real treat. both from sub and surround steering as well as overall dynamics. picture all the way so far is definitely on the dark side, pretty dr@b. anyways looking forward to the second half ps yorac, I've not read the books but my wife tells me that theyre ten times better. she although a harry potter fan, has lost a bit of the enthusiasm when the whole it all went a bit dark arts somewhere along the line. she stopped reading the books but has watched all the movies so far. and liking this one to this point as well. though macca your post above doesnt bode well for the rest ! I'm not a fan of these pt 1 pt 2 movies either. but oh well. anyways audio wise definitely its a treat ! edit good example of the pretty spectacular audio in this movie is when in the forest theyre zapping around the horcrux. you hear it literally hoping around the room. even going past you bouncing to the back right of the sound stage at one part.

Cheers Agreed. They could have cut it back to 90 minutes & it would have given the story a lot more pace and maybe kept my interest. There was no point in dragging out what is essentially half a story into something over 2 hours long. The slowest & least interesting of the HP flicks to date. Andys.

betty boop Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 We just finished watching, didn't find it overly long, but then we did watch it in 3 sittings..as is our way with movies theses days hehe. If in one sitting Leah likely feel it drag on a bit. 146 min or nearly 2.5 is way too long for a movie, and no doubt quite a bit of stuff could have been snipped out without hurting the story line. The ending was like one of the lord of rings movies ended, kinda expected for a part one. Personaly not a big fan of movies that continue on in parts such as this. But what do you do. They're keen to milk this for all it's worth ! oh well bring on pt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopthat Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 They should have renamed it Harry Potter and the Boring Camping Trip There seemed to be a lot of filler in there, I hope the last one picks up a bit, and it will be a toss up between going to the noisy sticky movies, or waiting to Octoberish for it to be released on Blu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrantz Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 They should have renamed it Harry Potter and the Boring Camping TripThere seemed to be a lot of filler in there, :lol: +1...

My wife also loved the books and while enjoys the movies keeps telling me to read the books as she says they are so much better. Went to see Pt 1 at Gold Class and left feeling as though I had only watched half a movie despite the time. Have the BD but will like yorac save to watch both together most likely, or perhaps a marathon weekend of all of the them when Part 2 comes out.

Daniel P Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Wow, I really enjoyed this HP film. I think since the 4th film it is my favourite - I loved the focus on the 3 lead characters, and the journey they went on was really memorable. I never saw it at the cinema, and waited until I blind bought the Blu, having heard some negative reports on the film. I'm not sure if it was my lowered expecations, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Me too! The whole family enjoyed it more at home last night than at Gold Class on release! The PQ was really good and the sountrack was even better. Great use of surrounds.

Guest john-andrew Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I am looking forward to Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 which comes out on the 15th of April. I'd wait for a BR package of Parts 1 & 2 in the one box or case. Did you know Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 will be out in the cinemas during the year? Watched last night also and we really enjoyed. Well set up for part 2! Yes and to look forward to Part 2 for this year.
