In terms of overall picture quality compared to other restored catalog titles, this transfer tops them all. Better than Grand Prix HD DVD or The Searchers. It blows them away. Tired of reading posts like "Old movies can never look as good as the blockbuster movies of today!!!" ? I will tell you that this 45 year old movie is sharper, clearer and more detailed than most *ahem* TIER 0 PQ Blu-rays or HD DVDs.

Filmed using Cinerama process it is just f****** gorgeous. Watching the movie using the "Smilebox" version is truly an experience. The depth of field is amazing giving you the effect of "3D" or "looking thru a window". I still remember renting the laserdisc version from Dave's Video at Studio City many years ago in glorious widescreen 480i and digital stereo sound I don't want to sound elitist but after watching this movie and some of its scenes multiple times on different viewing sets of mine(check my profile for a list of my HT equipment), anything less than a 1080p projector is not recommended (my opinion). Now if you have a curved screen then its even better

No noticeable EE observed. Mild DNR is present on some scenes. But not to the level of Patton or Longest Day. Film grain is intact. DNR dial is not cranked up to "11" like those two. No waxy faces here. Fox studios should contact WB on the proper use of DNR on HD catalog titles.

But . . . . .

damn! I HATE the digipack case they used for this release.

Although there is an effort made with the restoration to remove or "blend in" the vertical lines between the three panels of the picture, its still very visible in some scenes. But compared to the older transfer its a huge improvement.

Hey, Xylon. Would you be able to post a few shots comparing the SmileBox and the traditional letterbox formats? That would be cool to see the difference side by side. Thanks!

Thanks! That is perfect. I just wanted to see how big of a curve there was and how much it affects things like people. It was being played in letterbox on AMC a week or two ago so I still had that fresh in my head but a good side to side comparison helps out a lot.

Best-looking disc ever? The sharpness and detail in post #6 is mind-blowing, and look at the top of the building to the left in the very first shot, you can see the mortar between the bricks all the way back to the edge.

I guess having three times the resolution of conventional films will do that. 1080p isn't enough!

You don't need anything, that's the point of the Smilebox version. It simulates a curved screen on a flat surface.

Holy Cow!

Incredible. I think these are the best looking screen grabs I have seen yet. The clarity and detail is amazing.

Xylon- do you prefer the regular version or smilebox? It looks like the smilebox version cuts off some picture info on the sides.

squared!

I should be getting my copy today or tomorrow from amazon. I can't wait. I expected better quality than the DVD, but the differences shown above are amazing. Thanks, xylon!

Now, if Fox, MGM could only have done the same for Patton, TLD and others
Of course, their philosophy has been maximizing profits with minimal efforts.

Looks like WB hit this one out of the ballpark. This should be a wonderful release

Wow, that is amazing. I watched the DVD a few months ago and wondered how much of a clean-up job they were going to be able to do, given the extreme noise and dirt prevalent throughout the film - I figured the source had to be in bad shape to get a transfer that bad. Well I guess they did one heck of a restoration because the Blu-ray looks simply wonderful.

I don't like that film that much or at least i didn't when i watched it almost ten years ago on TNT movies in what appeared to be it's original widescreen aspect ratio with the separating lines intact.

I'm tempted to buy it and give it another shot....Regarding image quality Jimmy Stewart looks more detailed in that scene above than 99% of modern day releases....No surprise though as it was shot 70mm and Warners deserve praise this time....Instead of the usual attacks they get from certain selective members.

Here's hoping Lawrence of Arabia looks as detailed when it gets released ( next year please )

Xylon,

The caps look awesome. Kudos to Warner Brothers for delivering a BD quality product after a long time.

Could you please compare (Three-Disc Special Edition) / (Ultimate Collector's Edition) and the Blu-ray ? I bet the differences wouldn't be this huge.

I know that your favorite is Hot Fuzz in terms of comparison pix. Do you accept that the west has won against the fuzz ?

Precisely. It's almost like one of those optical illusions/tricks where you need to "learn" to look at it in a specific way. Instead of seeing a 2D image that's been squished in the middle, envision it as a curved screen in 3D.

One of the most dated films around, but damn, that's some amazing detail. Love the PATTON comparisons.

You see, PATTON could have looked that good had they not raped it.
