It's been 3 days since this disc was released with no review on the HTF.
Bought my copy locally at Circuit City on 8/29. My usual source for first day releases, Best Buy, seems lately to have dropped the ball in stocking it.
Played the movie using the Samsung @ HDMI 1080i out to a Ruby projector and deinterlacing it to 1080p, projecting it onto a 110" FireHawk screen. The latest tweak I now use (posted by Alan Gouger at AVS) with the Ruby, is taking advantage of the DRC-MFv2 Reality/Clarity chip (the MF meaning multi-function) that is available in the Ruby projector. This seems to really bring out the resolution in Blu-ray MPEG 2 discs.
The movie looks great! The only portion that showed video noise, was the beginning "Tri-Star Pictures" logo, that is shown before the picture begins.
In checking the DVD "Total Recall: Special Edition", the same noisy "Tri-Star pictures" heading is there too.:rolleyes
Anyway, all I can say is that I'm glad I got the movie. The high definition really draws you into the action.
