Picture: The master light the same to be as with the Steelbook DVD variant. It is a continuous noise from beginning to end. All the same whether brightens, darken, close or telephotos. The mistake with film grain is auschgeschlosse. Also the sharpness is unfortunately not better than with the DVD. Even in close-ups skin pores or Haarsträhnen are not on hp level. Has the film on a FullHD 50" Seen to plasma and unfortunately with ever larger diagonals also the errors are ever more emphasized. Owners of Beamern know the problem. The colors are naturally held. Clay/tone: Unfortunately the same as with the picture. The German hp TRACK sounds much too dull in the comparison to the English original. Also the distribution on the front boxes is too much blurred. Klanglich thus also only on middle level. Also here the comparison to the DVD 1: 1. Bonus: Also here a 1 to 1 assumption of the DVD. Who calls the DVD its own, can do without Blu ray completely. Hp is that unfortunately not. Unfortunate, would have thought cinema world the more on quality sets as e.g. with " The fox and the Mädchen".

As for the reviews, they're spot on (apart from the numpty on amazon ).

The AVC encode is very nice, with a light layer of grain throughout and some moments of staggeringly crisp fine detail. They have upped the contrast massively in comparison to the Extended R1 DVD though, and white highlights tend to blow out very easily.

The audio is just as described above. The action scenes lack the 'oomph' that comes as standard these days, although the music sounds superb. There's one shot where Stansfield walks into frame and an ominously low note kicked in that had my sub begging for mercy.
