Interessantissimo post, ovviamente da AVS, dove un utente confronta il Bluray -prima edizione- con la pellicola appena vista al cinema:
"So about 6 hours ago, I was able to see a 35mm presentation of Predator at one of the American Cinematheque theaters here in Los Angeles (and a print which looked to be quite new).
After enduring complaint after complaint on this and other forums about the look of the Blu-ray, I was particularly focused on the look of the film and came home to run the BD up against what I had just seen. The bottom line (and final word as far as I'm concerned) is that not only is the Blu-ray a completely accurate presentation of the film, in many ways it's actually superior to any theatrical presentation. Much of the FX work has been cleaned up versus the theatrical prints (such as the original arrival of the Predator on Earth -the first shot of the film- which is polluted with dirt from the FX compositing. The BD has been cleaned to show no dirt at all in this shot.)
The colors of the BD are a bit more vibrant, the image noticeably crisper (no doubt due in some part to the reduction in screen size) and the black level and shadow detail is much cleaner/clearer than the 35mm print. They were definitely able to dial things in and improve the image on Blu-ray without harming the look of the film.
But again, the Blu-ray is a completely accurate presentation of Predator and should not be subjected to any criticism.
If you don't like the way the Predator Blu-ray looks, than unfortunately...
You just don't like the way PREDATOR looks. "
Tale post risale all'epoca in cui uscì il primo BD.
Morale della favola, mi tengo stretta la vecchia edizione. A me soddisfa e quando la proietto mi sembra di vedere una pellicola e non un pulitissimo "blob digitale" (o meglio, "digitally remastered").
Certo, alla fine mi toccherà prendere anche la nuova, dato che:
- adoro Predator e sono un "completista". In più voglio vedere i nuovi extra.
- voglio divertirmi a fare la comparison dvd/bdvecchio/bdnuovo
- chi disprezza compra (soprattutto questo)
ma dovranno proprio tirarmela dietro... come il BD del Gladiatore, pagato 8,90 Euro con l'ingresso gratuito al cinema.
