Blu-Ray quality is freaking me out


It’s too good.

Obviously from the original camera negative, it looks eerily like modern HD video. Colors are a little hot, but not a scratch or blemish anywhere.

Not sure it has ever looked this good, even in a 1972 theater.

Weird just bought one yesterday and watching it today- looks unreal. Was watching ex machina on blu ray yesterday and it almost looked as bad as a dvd

I’ve had that experience too. Spent $30 on the recent “Defending Your Life” Blu-Ray — bloody awful.
Instead of joy in sharing one of my favorites with a gf I just felt embarrassed.

i, too, watch movies with my gf but the stakes are much higher in my household:
she withholds sexual activities if she is not satisfied with the movie choice i have made
