The DNR work seems to have been handled carefully, except perhaps the deep ocean photography but I'll give them a pass there (as always, I have no idea what the point of degrain/regrain processing is, but it is what it is I guess). Seems to look quite superb.

You have to degrain for 3 D see my posts above as to why

My short take: This is a PHENOMENAL Blu-ray! The detail is extraordinary, the colors vibrant, the blacks deep. Not one speck, scratch, or imperfection on the print. Zero EE, zero sharpening, extremely film like presentation. The ever so slight DNR has been implemented with even better results than in Aliens. The sound mix is spectacular. I have seen this movie 11 times in 1997/98 and once in 3D recently. I can say with 100% certainty, that the Blu-ray looks better than the original theatrical release in just about every way. I even love the new color grading with an ever so slight teal push.
Here are some quick fixes that Cameron has made digitally to make this a flawless movie:
- The string that pulls the glass off of the mantle has been removed.
- Night sky has been altered and stars added throughout the movie. Too many instances to list.
- Rose looks up at a brand new night time sky with the proper star alignments for 1912.
- The capstans no longer crinkle as passengers fall/crash onto them.
- The flying scene has an altered sunset in one shot at the beginning as Rose approaches jack.
- The first funnel that collapses and plunges into the Ocean now has the proper black top ring.
- Baja has been erased in various scenes. Mountains during the day and city lights during the night time shots were erased.
- A visible set light has been erased as Cal chases Rose and jack with a pistol.
This will be a reference disc for DECADES! A pure 10/10 release. Cameron is the very best filmmaker in Hollywood today and ever. He has a perfect track record and I cannot wait to see the restored (Lowry/Lightstorm) The Terminator Blu-ray next month.

so you go literally crazy at me even mentioning grain, and not D N R and yet after I prove my point you say yourself there is d n r!
Do I get an apology at any time? Or do they not make them in your world?

The 3D version of the film is already a bastardisation. Does it really matter if it has some DNR?

As long as the true version of the film looks great I'm happy.

Not to me, did you read the thread?

Who are you kidding Mike? Of course it has DNR, no one ever disputed that fact. You posted a screencap which was completely DNRed and was in no way, shape, or form even remotely representative of the Titanic Blu-ray, 2D, or 3D. And you did it because you wanted to take a jab at this release. Don't think that we are all stupid here. You've been around here long enough and should have known better. You could have posted any of the Capsaholics screen captures, or from bluray.com. Instead, you chose to purposely post to misrepresent. If you continue to use tactics like that, I will continue to call you out on them. Fair enough?

Fair lol not even did you get around to reporting me? Did you see where the shot came from? and I think you need to re read what you said...

For one, not your "buddy" for two seriously re-read what I asked and what I backed it up with and see where the image came from, not my link not my image.
Not once did I say it was what the image looks like, nor did I mention DNR, yet strangely you did.....

On another note, I just found a fairly bad audio glitch. It happens at the beginning of the movie, right as it fades in from black, there's a pretty loud pop. It happens on all versions.

That's right Mike, you didn't say it verbally. Your jab was subtle. Again, we are not stupid here. I'm moving on from this. Others can read the thread and make of it what they want.

No pop here. Are you sure it's not just your subwoofer turning on when the first drum beat is heard?

I'm sure it's not the subwoofer. The pop has already been verified by dozens of people on various forums. It happens roughly 29 seconds into the movie. Right after the fade.

Hm, I hear a slight clicking sound that coincides with the LFE "boom" right when the sepia picture comes up. Is that what you are referring to? Sounds like it could be part of the drum recording.

Robert Harris has praised the transfer:

Based on his commentary, I have no concerns with buying this one. It is not my favorite movie, but my wife loves it smile.gif

Can someone with the Fox UK disc (Mike?) please check to see if there's a pop/audio glitch at the beginning of the movie? Roughly 29 seconds in (in the Paramount's disc), right as the screen fades from black to the old footage of Titanic departing. Thanks!

it can't be cause unless I'm wrong, the 3D version is on disc 1&2, and the 2D on disc 3&4, although I ordered the collector's edition from amazon US, if there's only 3 discs on the canadian version that means you'd get only the first half of the film in 2D...

Why would he have this movie, and further why would anyone here pay an iota of attention to anything at all that he says about it? Guy's a troll, at least wrt this movie (dunno why he'd start this thread; no life? boost his post count???):

Fantastic transfer all around (in 2D). Just stunning levels of detail, and great encoding considering the length:
