Director Ridley Scott comments on the state of streaming movies and how streaming is still no substitute for physical media (and Blu-ray in particular). While I certainly enjoy the convenience of streaming, I can’t disagree with Scott’s argument. Nearly every film I’ve streamed on Netflix has suffered from pixelization and blurry camera sweeps. It’s great for old television shows, but I still prefer to watch movies in Blu-ray format. I’ve even begun purchasing more Blu-rays recently because I think the format will be a standard for at least another decade before streaming can begin to compete.
As an aside, I highly recommend The Lord of the Rings Blu-ray set. It looks and sounds spectacular.
