Got mine today. Wrote about it in the demo thread up at the top of the software thread.
Picture did have a few scenes of edge enhancement at the start when michael Jr. is standing on the beech with his back to us and also in the beech scenes (and a few helicopter shots during the film) there was some grain, but from what i could see (and my memories of the theatrical print I saw) the grain in these scenes are intentional.
Sound was exceptional though. Mendes describes it as a film filled with ghosts so he reflected that in the sound design. There are echos and directional effects applenty. Thomas newmans score has a beautiful hipnotic quality in the DTS track that is amazing and also very powerful. Havent listened to the DD5.1 track and dont really plan to.
But why cant they change the damn DTS Piano trailer for something different. I'm sick of it.
Dont care for HBO docs much so the only thing i am really missing here is the fantastic trailer.
Great disc, great transfer (aside from very minor edge enhancement) which is representitive of the theatrical exhibition. Great movie and extras..........essential purchase.
my 2c.
