Rock! Shock! Pop! first brought the black and white intro to our attention.

DVDBeaver said that the print "seems a bit too bright in places, washing out Salvati's lighting and the textures and colors of De Rossi's prosthetic make-up". They are "waiting to see Arrow revisions" before making a final verdict. And they only looked at the DVD, so can't comment on the bitrate or encoding of the Blu-Ray.

wtfFILM observed that the review disc they were sent was a BD25, and that the movie is encoded at a very low bitrate resulting in compression problems.

So three for three the reviews have raised concerns about the video. Of course it's not a done deal, and all three have also praised the detail and increased picture information, so it's not all bad. But for such a highly anticipated release, it is a bit troubling.
