I already have The Dark Knight so probably won't be getting it, a bit lazy to put my other copy for sale later. Watchmen is tempting, might get it with Road to Perdition and some cheap title I saw, still got 5 hours to decide biggrin.gif

I haven't watched the Complete Experience version yet but I heard the film grain is still prevalent in it as well.  hmm.gif

Anyone who has it care to share?  nod.gif

That's how the film suppose to be. The complete edition got more extras and used to come with digital copy but I don't think it does anymore

Its hard to justify the similarity of grains present on each different movies , i assume?

For example, Predator and re-release of Predator or Gladiator and re-release version of Gladiator, they had differences i believe (although i could be wrong that its all about grain or other aspect) but , are these having similar grains present on each?

How do you describe them as similar? Just wanted to know
*
haha hmm I guess saying similar is not right, what I was trying to say it's the grain adds more emm feel/mood to the movie rather than detracts from it, so in that sense the use of grain on those both movie is similar coz it's adding to it. I don't think those movie will feel the same if it's for example made like Aeon Flux, completely free of grain and smooth biggrin.gif

Which movie are you talking about bro? As far as I know, without grain, the film would look sharper, and not blurry. Care to share?  nod.gif

not really, film like 300, Black Hawk Down are meant to be grainy but still retain the sharpness, the color, everything. As for Predator Ultimate Edition, it was heavily DNR, which totally removed certain detail and makes the movie smooth as hell.

You removed grain by applying DNR, DNR in turns do remove certain details and sometimes might cause it to be a bit blurry so I won't say movie without grain will be shaper coz it all depends on how excessive DNR is being apply. Well I am not an expect in this matter, just my humble opinion since I do a lot of photo editing and yeah it involve removing grain as well or making model look as smooth as marble biggrin.gif

i was just passing on my opinion to other enthusiasts that i found that particular title being definitely demo worthy material for those who want to show some friends the capabilities of the bluray format and in particular the dynamics of their home theaters...

From a personal point, my obsession with Picture Quality and Sound Quality of blurays simply stems from the fact that i feel that bluray is (still) a format that only a minority of people have bought into. Alot of it has to do with economics. Quite simply, the average person will not pay 70-150RM for an original bluray title given the widely availability of pirated movies we have access to. It makes bluray a still prestigious format of watching movies at home. Showing friends scenes from Planet Earth, Avatar or The Dark Knight, it fills me with great pride when their jaws drop and they comment "wow, your home theater is awesome!". Yes, admittedly its a show off thing and i am not ashamed to admit it because i am sure that most people  here can be guilty of this pleasure as well smile.gif

Like so many of us here, I have invested alot of my hard earned moolah on equipment to realise "a 24 frame 1080p picture" and "a lossless audio" on a "90+ screen" at "bitrates of 25mb per sec" etc

I do admit that on many occasion i would appreciate PQ and AQ even over the actual fact that the movie was generally rubbish (Revenge of The Fallen anyone?) and this has become criteria to ALOT of my bluray purchases. Is this just being silly? perhaps.

i could write about references to particular scenes of a movie to talk about tonal balance, skin tones, palette drop outs, over saturation, pixilazation etc but then i don't think the general audience of this thread would show much interest.
