However, Jon M. Chu, director of the Disney hit Step Up 2 The Streets, believes the argument should now cease:
The Blu-ray high-def disc wins by a mile, he says.
In an article by Home Media Magazine, Chu says next month's release of the Blu-ray edition of Step Up 2 will offer far more detail than the theatrical print.
“It’s beautiful,” Chu says of the Blu-ray disc version. “The colors just pop. You get to see because we play a lot in the shadows. That’s what we wanted to do and sometimes the print was a little dark to me."
He added: "On the Blu-ray, just consistently you know what you’re getting and you can play in those shadows. You can see it and it doesn’t feel dark. It just feels moody.”
Chu even worries that the Blu-ray disc will offer too much detail and, consequently, the director says the production team took great care to eliminate potential mistakes unseen by the moviegoer.
“Well, you definitely get to see more wires from the camera,” Chu said. “There’ll be like a sandbag or something somewhere (on the set).”
