I posted this originally in the AI thread, and think it's worthy of discussion in a separate post.
What gets me anytime I see a "Poor Transfer" thread (insert movie) is how anyone could derive that what they viewed was a poor transfer? Let's be real, even the print you see in the theater is a copy of a copy, and not representative of where the HD/DVD master was generated from.
Considering practically no one here has access to the master prints (or even generational subsequent prints) how can anyone here say the transfer for any given film is poor when you have zero access to the print it was made from?
The film may not have that look you expect, but that doesn't mean the transfer was poor.
