I watched the Night Watch BD last night (import), and while overall, it was a very watchable disc, I couldn't help but be disappointed. They had used an excessive amount of DNR. Why do the studios think we want our movies to look like video games? Are they still catering to gamers?
New Line is famous for doing this. Two that pop in my head are Pan's Labyrinth (the US version, NOT the UK version), and Dark City.
I WANT MY FILM GRAIN!!!!!!!!!
They totally missed the boat with Night Watch. I have the original Russian DVD, and there's quite a bit of grain in that movie. In fact, it adds a certain gritty look and feel to the movie, that makes me think that its there on purpose. This is completely lacking on the BD. Then there's the texture of the faces. Removing grain has a tendency to also remove fine details giving faces a smooth, almost waxy sort of look.
What's the point of having high resolution, if you are going to remove some of it with over processing?
