Some grain is inherent to all film, and like it was previously mentioned by somebody, PREDATOR used a certain film stock that just happened to be particularly grainy. It doesn't matter to me, because it adds to the film, has always looked that way on any format, and was always meant to look that way to begin with. Have you seen Cameron's restoration of ALIENS? There is still some grain, because it's part of the look of the film. The director himself kept it in tact, so what does that tell you? I cringe at the thought of ALIENS ever looking at horrid as that PREDATOR disk..luckily that will never happen.

JAWS (and GOJIRA) will be keeping the grain in tact because that's (gasp!) as close to what the film would likely look like in 35mm to begin with, and it keeps the integrity of the image, and was meant to look that way by the director/cinematographer. I've seen JAWS in that format, and it's gorgeous. If the BD would be "made to look like it was filmed yesterday", then it would look like complete ass, just like the horrendous PREDATOR disk that you're relentlessly trying to defend.

Unless it was filmed digitally, films should never look as crisp as something like, say, THE DARK KNIGHT. The 2010 PREDATOR disk is one of the worst BD's of a major genre film on the market, if not THE worst. Period.

I don't think anyone has brought this up yet, but I would like to see Criterion's version of KOTM's title screen. The one we've had for so many years seems way too bright, at least with the title logo, and you can only see some of the real detail when the screen fades out. I'm hoping/assuming the new one looks a lot better.

I love the two Evangelion movies!!! Can't wait for the third!! They're the only anime blu rays I own besides the essential Akira

by **kiryugoji04** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 9:16 pm

I don't think I would ever own Akira, personally. Ever ever ever. Beautiful, yes, but it diverges from the manga in all the wrong ways. It hurts me so. Q____Q

That aside, I'm aiming to order EVA 2.22 here in the next couple of days. Looking forward to that (hopefully) kicking my ass. :lol:
