American Graffiti, a late summer 1973 release is one of those films that remains ingrained in one's memory.
It's simply that good, and was a very pleasant surprise for those not knowing precisely what they were about to see.
Photographed in 2-perf 35mm (Techniscope), and released on dye transfer prints, for which the format was designed, original prints were neither overly grainy, nor problematic in any way. There were the occasional soft shots, whether simply shot that way, or from being field enlargements, but that was about it.
Universal's new Blu-ray of George Lucas' early teen masterpiece, looks precisely as I recall original prints as looking. This is a gorgeous Blu-ray, with both image and audio, DTS-MA 2-channel, perfectly rendered by what hopefully is a new ethic toward quality at Universal.
I'm seeing no problems whatsoever.
Extras,while not exhaustive, are well thought out and and nicely done, especially a series of screen tests.
Great film.
Great new Blu-ray.
Very Highly Recommended.
