It might have been phenomenal if they had doubled the video bitrate..... ;>)

But in this case, I suspect the master tape itself wasn't really that great. And I suspect the transfer to Blu-ray could have been better. But I should see it for myself. One great thing about HD media, the transfers are often so good, you can start nitpicking the original program material.

It's a must-have, but I'm not sure it's a "must-have-now" movie. I should go back to an old practice of waiting several months for the movie to achieve "catalog" status with subsequent MSRP price drop.

thx

Possibly, but they didn't. What good is higher bitrate, if they don't use it?
This is a brand new movie, so I would have expected the master to be superb. It could have been the transfer, as I said I don't think they put alot of effort into the PQ.

  and of course the movie master tapes. That way, I can A/B the original vs. the HD media version.
  
  Of course, that would requiring knowing the winning lottery numbers before anyone else...
