As I warned RAH earlier this week with his positive video grade for this BD release, expect some pushback from those that don't like this video presentation. No disrespect towards those that have issues with this video presentation, but I'm happy to see your video grade is in agreement with RAH as I now have little concern in buying this TT title in the near future.

I think Matt has summarised the film excellently - in fact, I congratulate him! - but I disagree about the picture quality. In my opinion: It's TOO BLOODY DARK! .

And your opinion has been duly noted. Where's Bruce?

Thanks for the kudos, but I didn't find it to be so on my OLED.

I have the DVD. I was not sure if I wanted to upgrade to the Blu-ray as the sound and extras are the same. Caps-a-holic and dvdbeaver did not do comparisons. I found some screen caps from another site so I compared them to my DVD. My DVD player on the laptop does not work so I downloaded VLC software. All I did was screen print and copy to here on the DVD. The Blu-ray I copied the cap to a file. I am seeing a difference but it's not dramatic.

OK, you can all flame me and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. I can take it.

I always thought it a good upgrade.
A bit sharper and if course much better lossless sound.
I use the 4 track.
If you are going to move on this Roland, better while it is around!

I just did a blind purchase of this as part of the Twilight Time sale last night. It sounds delightful.
