 Actual BLU-RAY review (unlike prevous 35 DVD reviews) November 21, 2008
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
I would give the DVD 5 star rating too. The program is awesome. Take That is in it's best form, and concert is wonderfully conceived.
I trained myself to perceive buying something I like on a Blu-ray, after I already have it on a DVD, as an upgrade and not double-dipping. As such, I expect it to actually BE an upgrade...
Unfortunately... it was lit for the in-house audience and not for cameras (at least not for cameras used to shoot this concert). Insufficient light leads to grain and grain is abundant here, there is a lot of blocking and it is obvious that there is something gravely wrong with the colors and contrast. It's blooming, posterized and painful to watch. I wasn't expecting much of an improvement over the DVD, judging by the difference between their previous DVD and Blu-ray, but this exceeded all my grim expectations... DVD itself looked ok, but when I inspect it now, after seeing the Blu-ray, I see that the grain is inherent in the source material, it was only far less visible (almost invisible) in the inferior resolution of the DVD. On the Blu-ray, I can only see grain and color banding...
Needless to say, this is the worse Blu-ray disc I have, an awfull presentation of a wonderful content. To add insult to injury, DTS HD Master Audio track that is advertised on the package is nowhere to be found on the disc, giving more of an amateurish feel to all the proceedings... They wrote: "Music Never Looked Or Sounded So Good" on the cover. I beg to differ! I am sorely dissapointed, even if I didn't expect too much of an improvement over the DVD. Both Take That and their fans deserve better.

The second best thing April 1, 2008
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
I was lucky enough to be there the night they filmed this DVD (7th December), but if you were not, this is the second best thing.
As a music DVD this is very complete, with the whole show, a long documentary on the production and tour, an audio commentary done by the guys and a photo gallery.
As for the show, it is absolutely breathtaking, I haven't stoped watching it since I bought the DVD. A definite MUST not only for Take That fans, but everybody who enjoys great live music and an amazing production.
Somewhat taken aback March 27, 2008

Look I was never into these people first time around. My wife would go off to their concerts and I'd just not get it. Cheesy hip gyrating c**p - at best. And lets face it - Robbie was the talent wasn't he - just look at Knebworth - isn't that just streets ahead.
And then I saw this - having again bought it for my wife.
Its really good - but bits of it are a revelation. These guys seems so much more comfortable with themselves. They don't seem like the shadow of RW is over them any more. If the "Ultimate Tour" hologram of Robbie had been repeated it would almost have felt like an intrusion - because this is a "Beautiful World" performance.
I love the fact that they do something slightly different with almost everything. Other people have commented on the upbeat tone of "Back for Good" rather than the nauseating cigarette lighter Angels rip off we've seen before. The "slow" version of "Could it be Magic" is breath-taking. Howard is a revelation - his vocals get better and better and unlike Gary Barlow his live voice is better than the studio version - listen to Beautiful World if you don't agree. Even a visibly nervous Jason and "Wooden Boat" suprises - it's just great.
So I sign off this review still rather embarassed that I thought this was so great. But forget the cheese of before. This ain't the same. Buy it.
Utterley Amazing! March 27, 2008

Being one of the hundreds of thousands that went to see Take That on tour I placed my pre-order for the Beautiful World DVD many weeks before it was actually released.
With very fond memories of the live tour I was unsure whether the DVD would be able to re-create the atmosphere I experienced in the MEN arena at Manchester.
It did.
The hairs on my neck stood up when the amazing classical overture kicked in at the very beginning and it did not stop there. The entire DVD is edited with excellent interludes and the extras on the DVD give you an insight into the tour that I have never experienced before.
All in all the DVD as a whole took me back to that cold December night where I experienced possibly one of the best concerts around.
The added extras on the DVD just make for an excellent peek into what life is really like on tour!
You are bound to enjoy this DVD even if you are not the biggest Take That fan.
