We got the family together tonight, and watched The Dark Knight on Blu Ray on the 60-inch screen. Absolutely the best movie I own on Blu Ray... and only the second movie I own so far that I would recommend specifically be purchased on Blu Ray.
One thing that I failed to appreciate until after watching the movie and making my way through the "Making Of" documentary: Very little of that movie is computer-generated. Nothing in the entire big chase scene that ended with the tractor trailer flipping end over end had any computer-generated visuals added to it.
It's probably gotten to the point now where it would benefit an audience and film makers to specifically make an action movie with zero CGI effects, and then put at the beginning of the movie a splash screen that says, "All live action. No computer generated images are used in this movie."
It's true: We've gotten so used to seeing Lord of The Rings fully-computer-generated scenes, or The Matrix visual effects, that we now fail to notice truly amazing live-action sequences (like the tractor trailer, Batman's motorcycle, or an entire building exploding).
