I’ve always been a fan of The Fugitive. I like seeing someone outwit other people, especially when it’s Harrison Ford. Plus, it is one of the very first DVD movies I bought, so I watched the movie a lot, just taking in the great picture quality that DVD afforded at the time.

So I think it’s great that The Fugitive is coming to HD, and High-Def Digest did a review of The Fugitive on BD. (It’s already available on HD DVD.) How does the VC-1 transfer look? To sum up: it looks decent, but nothing to write home about. If you look at the HD DVD review of The Fugitive, similar comments were made about the picture quality.

Anyway, I already own this movie on DVD, so I don’t plan to re-buy it on BD unless they come out with a new version with even better picture quality. Well, maybe not even then. But I’ll certainly rent it so that I can enjoy Richard Kimble outsmarting the US Marshals in HD.
