PHE Press Release: Braveheart * Gladiator * Forrest Gump (Sapphire Series Blu-ray) - Page 8

Yep. I recall a very similar thing with Dark City.  People saying you can't tell about possible EE and DNR by the screencaps. Well, I bought the disc and it looked exactly the same in motion as it did in those silly screenshots. Full of EE and the people looked like mannequins.

Slightly revised version of a post of mine on the blu-ray.com forum:

There's a certain weirdness in the color timing of the Theatrical cut on the blu-ray that comes through most clearly in close-ups of faces, which all have too much of a 'rosy' complexion to me.  It can be seen [URL="http://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=2273498&postcount=1392"][B]here[/B][/URL] in Joaquin Phoenix's face and if you compare either of the HDTV shots to the blu-ray [URL="http://forums.highdefdigest.com/1662790-post3.html"][B]here[/B][/URL] of Russell Crowe's face it also is evident.  And of course the DNR on the blu-ray smears the detail away, making that shot lose the grittiness it [I]does[/I] have on the HDTV broadcast versions.

The problem with poor color timing vs. DNR/EE is of course that it [I]doesn't[/I] get less distracting by being further removed from your screen, so even people with smaller screens and and/or being seated too far away should be able to notice that something's off here.
