Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Battle of Britain (1 Viewer)

I disagree with the original review's contention that the edge haloes only come in scenes where actors contrast agaiunst the sky - the haloes are everywhere. Indoors, outdoors - you name it.


I strongly suspect this is the same transfer as the 2006 DVD - MGM just plopped it onto a Blu-ray. The movie needs a new transfer - this one's got too much "artificial sharpness"...

It would be nice to see this on a BD 50 (instead of a BD 25) and with the MPEG-4 codec (instead of MPEG-2), and cleaned up. I think it looks better than its cousin "A Bridge Too Far", also on a BD 25/MPEG-2 w/ lower bit rate. They were both earlier format releases though.

Also, Anthony was probably just ribbing you for getting this thread out of mothballs ; very friendly people here.

Yes, it was just what I thought was a very mild joke (which I thought the poster would enjoy) about having revived such an old thread in such a new way ... little did I know I was going to trample on someone's sensitivities!
