Babel, a 2006 production, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, whose current film, Bardo, was one of those early HD discs.
I've now replaced it with a Blu-ray c. 2017, and generally it appears fine. Going in, one should recognize that the film was shot in both 35 as well as 16mm, so grain structure will vary, even whem viewed through the optics of a 2k DI.
Color and overall resolution is fine, as are black levels.
I'll not get into the specifics of the film, but it's worth investigating, if you've missed it.
Decent cast, led by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Beautifully shot by Rodrigo Prieto.

Pass / Fail – Pass
