percy jackson & the olympians the lightning thief

[Patrukas777]

I enjoyed it. It was a great film to watch with the family. The kids loved it, and I enjoyed the audio/visuals. It was better than I expected.

Solid movie with good special effects, decent storyline and capable acting. One of the better Chris Columbus movies in quite a while.

hey guys

i tried watching this just now. it started to load, i think, but it would not play.
i let it set for about 20 mins, nothing.
i know some movies take a lil while to load. but over 20 mins ?

yes, my player is updated, afaik. unless they came out with another update.

Rental or purchase? I had a BB/mail rental and it went through all the advertising/previews to the menu, but when I entered to play, it just wouldn't load the movie. I even tried jumping in from scene selections but nothing worked. I hope the next disk I rent works!

i was reading on avs. i guess the bd35 has some issues. perhaps newer disc formats or something, idk, i didn't read a lot.

i don't want to buy a new player yet

Another rental was Daybreakers, it would not load at all!

I had rented this and later purchased a use copy and never encountered any issues with my bd35.

I enjoyed it. I don't think it's oscar material, but few movies are.

Well I'm 0-2 going this route. This time was worse. Of several attempts, it only made it to the menu once. Just my luck I received the same disk again. I can't believe the Oppo won't play it.

I'd like to see it, maybe I'll have better luck with the DVD version.

Well I'm 0-3 with the BB BD rentals same results as the first rental. Must be some sort of conflict with my Oppo. The next time will be DVD so I don't expect any issues. It should still be a great theatrical experience.

Sorry to hear this. I'm wondering if you have defective unit or need a s/w upgrade. Knock on wood but my cheap little Sony BluRay has been spinning them with out issues.

I received this suggestion over @ AVS. I'll check it out and memorize it for future reference.

Corrupted info in persistent storage.
Eject the disc, turn OFF BD-Live, then erase persistent storage and power-cycle the player. Re-insert the disc and it will play fine.

Did it work?

 

[AVRat]

Idk, I sent the movie back.

 

[just-some-guy]

i took the disc to my father-in-laws and put it in his $79 refurb magnavox.
it played just fine. half jokingly i asked him if i could borrow it.

so, a so called crappy magnavox player is better than my so called best(at the time) panasonic

but before i condemn the panny. i am going to remove the formated SD card, and see if there is another update for it.

now. i know a lot of people that don't bother with HD or BD's. but if they did, its crap like this that would have em returning this junk to the store. and i wouldn't blame them.

After making the adjustments suggested above, my 4th attempt ran flawlessly. Excellent sound and visuals. 3.25 stars
