I received and watched this Monday night, and I have to agree with you. I was not impressed with the video quality at all. Aside from the blacks, which have already been mentioned, I did notice an overall lack of detail, and what I thought could be some posterization (particularly on the edge of the seats on the train in the opening scene). Although I admit, I am no expert when it comes to critiquing video, so it could've been something else or the way it was shot. As a whole, however, I was disappointed in the video department.

If you couple that with all the reports of 'popping' noises in the PCM track, which I heard myself in two instances, you have a major letdown overall, which is disappointing as I really enjoy this movie. I hope BVHE corrects the audio at least.
