    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    Well, I do believe the 2012 release was slightly stretched a bit (left and right, making people look slight fatter). Either that, or the current 2015 release isn't stretching them enough. There's clearly some minor bit of difference in the framing that goes beyond the rather significant...

    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    For the first two screenshot comparison links (now not working because I deleted them), I had used a screenshot capture method that used heavy JPG compression and that resulted in lots of pixelation in darker areas of the image. I didn't want people to think that was how the Blu-ray looked, so...

    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    Here are some random screen shots taken from the 2015 Blu-ray (4K restoration). These were also saved as lossless TIFFs and converted to PNGs in Photoshop. They are large files (about 2MB each). Again, done on a Mac so color and contrast are slightly different than what I...

    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    Okay, I've pulled three screen shots from the 2015 Blu-ray that correspond with the 2012 Blu-ray screenshots from the Blu-ray.com review of the older disc. Two of the scenes are off by about a single frame, but I think everyone will agree that it's close enough for government work. This time...

    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    It's not just more information on the sides, more information on the top and bottom too. The older (2012) Blu-ray image was CROPPED all around. Mark

    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    I've now watched a bit of the 2015 (4K) version on my 70" HDTV. It looks fabulous to my eyes! That said, as mentioned in the other topic, my screenshot software is compressing my screenshots too much and it's causing pixelation in the black areas of the image. I want to assure everyone that...

    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    I received my copy of the 2015 (4K restoration) of Journey to the Center of the Earth today. I haven't watched the entire movie, but I spun it up on my Mac and compared a few scenes to the Blu-ray.com screenshots for the 2012 Twilight Time disc. I'm pleased to report the new 4K restoration is...

    Blu-ray Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) Blu-ray Review

    My copy of the 4K restoration of 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' arrived today! We might be able to watch it tonight, we'll see. For those that might want to know how to tell the difference between the first Twilight Time release of JTTCOTE and the new 4K restoration, just look at the...
