I don't really understand this reissue from ViaVision unless they are correcting that sin for this remaster. Doesn't appear that way, though. Also, can we just start getting more film-based TV content or digital TV pumped out on Blu-ray instead of chronically being dumbed down to DVD - a format...

Yep. Deluxe edition with an extra disc that includes 2 films on its star - one, a biography, the other a swingin' homage to the 1960's in Britain. Very mod. Very posh. Very Michael Caine. PS - image quality is 'okay'. Don't ask for perfect and you won't be disappointed. Still, price point is a...

I've already ordered their Jesse Stone 9 film collection and their Avengers Emma Peel box set. Cannot wait for both of these to arrive on my doorstep, especially The Avengers, which promises to be heavily loaded in extra features. Overall, Imprint rates a solid 5 out of 10 for quality. If they...

Imprint is at the mercy of what studios are willing to provide to them. They do NO restoration work of their own and are NOT working from original film elements but rather digital output mastered, in some cases, from badly worn VHS and DVD quality elements. The blame here is entirely on...

Can't really get excited about DVD announcements anymore since Blu-ray is now the grand ole man of the mastering/remastering process and 4K is steadily gaining a toe-hold in the industry. Also, since many of the above mentioned TV sets were shot either on film or digitally, so no good reason...

Lots of speckling and age-related artifacts throughout this one, also weaker than anticipated contrast and residual softness throughout the transfer. Not a great effort. At times, not even a competent one.

For sometime now, ViaVision has been peddling some highly questionable 'digital' transfers. Personally, I think it's a fairly shoddy way to launch ANY label, but particularly one that boasts a pedigree like 'Imprint'. The work being done here is, arguably, NOT up to snuff and too many of...

Increasingly, Imprint is becoming a dumping ground for C-grade video masters that haven't been given any sort of consideration to ready them for a Blu-ray release. A Place in the Sun looks awful - dark, fuzzy and grainy. The Day of the Locust in an atrocity that seems to herald its master from...

I have to say, I am decidedly NOT impressed with the second round of ViaVision Imprint transfers. A Place in the Sun and When Worlds Collide were described as being sourced from NEW 4K remasters provided to ViaVision by Paramount, in the case of WWC, from separation masters. Sorry, but A Place...

Received an email from someone named Grant Taylor at ViaVision who has assured me all imprint titles will play in 'Canadian' Blu-ray players. I'm from Canada, so I have no doubt if they play here, they'll play on U.S. blu-ray players too. One thing everyone should be made aware of. If you...
