Like I said in my other posts, many will find this transfer to be a treat after the previous flipper version. But I don't. I do concede that the grain is no doubt part of the image - it is film after all - but the grain is so prevalent that it's distracting IMO. You want me to say that I don't like how the movie looks if it was
intended to be that way? Fine. And after viewing an anamorphic PAL version (thru satellite) I guess it's safe to say that it's always been like that to some degree, but I've no doubt that this movie
could look better than it does, and the horrid print they've used doesn't help matters.
The one thing I did notice from the satellite broadcast was the complete abscence of edge halos, which do their best to blight the dvd further. There was also a softness to the image on both versions that I can't quite tolerate, whether it's supposed to be like that, whether it's the age of the print, or the transfer - I don't really care. And reading back through this thread I have one more thing to add: did I ever say that I thought this release should be recalled? Or that no-one should buy it because of what I perceive to be faults? No. My opinion is just that,
mine, and I've certainly never tried to force it on anyone else in this thread. Just getting my opinion out there, that's all. Last time I checked that was allowed on this forum, right?
PS
At least I have some people agreeing with me about the dodgy dts track
