| "Just about every aspect of this 1080p transfer is incredibly impressive, and I would go so far as to say it is the best presentation I've yet seen on Blu-ray. What I found most immediately striking about the image is how three-dimensional it appears. The level of depth and detail is simply terrific. Blacks are so pure, deep and clean, and contrast smooth and consistent across the entire grayscale, that it is like looking at a picture-perfect photographic print, not a film image. Aside from some of the archival footage used in the film (though even that looks outstanding), the source print is also extraordinarily clean and free of even a single blemish -- it doesn't get much more slick than this. But even more surprising is that there is no apparent film grain visible, or it is so slight you have to press your nose up to the screen to glimpse it." |

| "The case says 1.85, but the film is framed at 1.78:1 on this BD release, which is without a doubt the most profoundly amazing black and white visual experience I have ever experienced. The black and white video resolves an extreme dynamic, with such detail and depth the likes I have not seen from B&W. Of course every other B&W film I’ve watched has either been SD, over thirty years old, or both. Miramax’s DVD of “Sin City” comes closest and it doesn’t even compare with the amazing detail preserved here. Though, the seeming absurdity of comparing HD to SD is not lost on me. It is hardly fair. But considering Blu-ray’s bumpy start, it’s not exactly without merit. But, Warner continues to live up to the same lofty average that they upheld with their DVD output on BD as well, leaving little to be desired. Aside from the authentic footage used in the film, the video is stunning. There are mild bouts of noise that might concern some, but I took it as grain and as such didn’t hold it against the score. That said, much of the time it almost appears as if the video was sourced from its digital intermediate. Obviously, if such, that would make the noise MPEG2. But, it looked much more like grain to me and was hardly indicative of the MPEG artifacts we have come to know so well from DVD. Black levels are impeccably deep and nicely solid – preserving wonderful shadow delineation without revealing any clear aggravation of compression either." |
