Monsters, Inc.(JPN) comparison *PIX* - Page 4

Same with Wall-E. I always said Wall-E was intentionally soft and not very impressive for a CGI movie, in regard to sharpness and detail.

One example of that I remember them describing is the TV station sign off in Toy Story in Sid's Dad's room. We got the shot of the waving American flag a lot of TV stations used to have. THey knew that wouldn't have been recognized in most other countries, so they changed it to a shot of fireworks, I believe.

I would bet the US release will look like the caps from the original version.

I would love to get this Japaneese disc, is it not region coded then? Or will my old Samsung 1400 not play it?

Thanks for catching me up again.

What a jaw dropper this movie was in reference to audio and video. I give it 5 stars on both aspects. This is by far the my best blu ray and demo blu ray for now. The best $55.00 spent for an import.

I'm wondering "how" it would be re-rendered at a higher resolution -- Wouldn't that just be upscaling? If not, wouldn't the original elements need to have been created at a higher resolution, and then down-scaled and rendered? Guess I need to fiind more sources to see how its done.




Agree...

Intended/Original Colorspacing and Temperature may become an increasing concern, after this disc and Open Range.

Should there be a ICST/OCST Thread Soon? (Edit: I'm aware this would fall under the Artistic Intent thread.)

these shots make it look very cgi, (hey movie is 8 years old) but once you see it in 1080p action on a big screen... Looks fantastic...
