QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Apr 22 2011, 02:01 PM) 300 is slightly grain, but still ok, if reduce a bit (just a bit), might look even better.
grain in 300 is quite ok to me due to the nature of the movie..so does Saving Private Ryan.. but grain in Minority Report and much worst in War of The Worlds, is kind of unacceptable to me..

QUOTE(johnbluraylover @ Apr 22 2011, 03:50 PM) yo brother,
MINORITY & WAR are 2 of the very best in bluray picture quality, especially MI.
some words from Blu-ray.com review over War of the Worlds picture quality.. The picture does enjoy a strong film-like look thanks to a thick layer of grain that's maybe even a bit heavier than that seen in Minority Report and Saving Private Ryan. War of the Worlds does not offer high definition "eye candy" in the traditional sense, but it is reflective of the way the film is supposed to look, which is the ultimate compliment to any Blu-ray, no matter how rough around the edges it may be. guess what I saw about the grainy is true thru my eyes..and it is just not my cup of tea

QUOTE(johnbluraylover @ Apr 23 2011, 10:21 AM) haha  steelbook arrived this morning. in good condition, AMZ CANADA used fill-air inflatable packaging to protect the disc, AMZ CANADA is my 1st choice now. Added on April 23, 2011, 10:32 ama home entertainment disc is to present the movi in the way that the movi director intended to, WAR OF THE WORLD is meant to be grainy, so the BD present it in grainny way. it is faithful to director's intention. check out the review: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/42562/war-of-the-worlds/http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/3125/waroftheworlds.htmli am not arguing that WAR OF THE WORLD has no grain, i am saying the grainy look is natural & faithful to the movi original look. it is the best presentation of the movi original look. if it is not original & failure in transfer, DVD TALK REVIEW, BLURAY.COM & BLURAY HIDIFDIGEST would not give iy 4 /4.5 star rating. the movi applied heavy grain reduction is FRENCH CONNECTION & PREDATOR, both received bad reviews. Not an arguement, brother, but a personnel opinion, and it is my cup of tea.  it's ok bro..understandable..diff people hv diff interpretation of beautiful "pic quality".. I for one, is going with the idea of current manufacturer(most) of visual devices..."Life Like" pic quality

QUOTE(anfieldude @ May 16 2011, 09:55 AM) The DTS HDMA track is well balanced compared to most Hindi movies, especially in the LFE section. The colour tones were slightly on the warm side, but I realise most of the older Hindi movies tend to be on the warm side anyway. I had the YRF version (bought together with Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham) and I believe you mean that the subtitles during songs sometimes missing? I am actually grateful that YRF at least continues to re-release old titles and looks like the masters are still in decent shape to allow for BD. I do sincerely hope that some of the old P.Ramlee classics (I believe Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka hv the prints) are released one day in BD. I believe that the P.Ramlee classics are own by Shaw Bros (HK)..hv to get license from them.. would be nice if it out on BDs
