I saw this film in its first week of release in the theaters and with a sizable audience. The laughs were plentiful ("Squirrel!") and the entire experience very enjoyable.
Problem is, can that experience be duplicated watching it at home on DVD or Blu-Ray? Mostly, but not entirely.
The laughs are still there but not as hearty as you get in a theater full of people watching it for the first time.
Visually, "Up" is stunning - as one expects from Pixar.
The 4-disc Blu-Ray combo pack provides so much value-added material that it would be a bargain at twice the price. Even if you don't have a Blu-Ray player yet, buy the Blu-Ray combo pack version because you get the regular DVD anyway and you will have all that bonus material IN CASE you ever buy a BR player. Duh.
I don't consider this to be Pixar's best movie. I liked "Wall*E" and "The Incredibles" just a bit more. But "Up" easily ranks as one of the best movies of 2009 and does the Pixar legacy proud.Get more detail about Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray].
