Excessive noise reduction and an unnatural greenish/yellow tint that gives everyone a weird looking waxy pallor.

Can't say I've noticed TBH and I've watched it a few times

Totally agree, was really disappointed with the DPOD transfer. However, I'm glad Curse of Frankenstein looked pretty decent. The colours were a bit washed out in places and detail wasn't great but I think its probably about the best they/anyone could do with it. At least they didn't resort to heavy handed DNR etc

Some good, reliable friends have told me this HD release is really good. So, y'know, I'll go with that recommendation. This is someone who has actually watched it and not run it through some Krypton Factor testing first.

Okay, I'm somewhat confuzzled. I saw the screencaps on Hammer's blog (regarding the aspect ratio), and was initially pleased, but THEN I read all the angry evidence to the contrary, which made me a bit frowney. But I still don't know what to think. So my question is: what are the fatal downsides of this apparently bastardised fullscreen version? Is there a quarter of an inch missing from the sides or something? |

So in answer to your question, no, there really aren't any downsides to this this disc, as 1) the fullscreen version contains the most information, and 2) the disc has great extras. What's more, this is the first, at least to my knowledge, that the uncensored versions of CoF has ever been available on disc. |

Well yeah, that's what I thought too! But there's so much vitriol being directed towards this release, I figured I must be missing something. I did hear about Hammer incorrectly framing the 1.66:1 version (hence the cropped heads), so maybe that has something to do with it. Or I dunno, maybe it's just a hardcore purist thing. |

Well according to Hammer, the film was originally meant to be viewed in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio, but judging by the screencaps, I'm a little leery of that claim, as the fullscreen/1.33:1 version does looks, at least to my eyes, the better framed of the two. Still, I really don't see how you can complain about the 1.33:1 version, as it does contain more information than any other previous version released to date. That and the fact that Hammer didn't decide to "juice up" the special effects with some new CGI shots, make this, imo, the definitive release of the film. Of course there's always the old WB R1 disc. |
