Title: Poor Digital Transfer!
Review: I was surprised by the poor image quality on this DVD. There are constant digital artifacts, and the darker the lighting of a scene, the more the artifacts are evident. If I had seen this film without knowing the source was a DVD, I would have thought it was a mediocre cable transmission. I am not a digital video expert, but the artifacts seem to result more from digital noise reduction than from compression, at least as I understand the effects. In any case, the unstable, wavy, and smeary images really sap the energy of the film. (This refers to the regular DVD version, not to the HD DVD version, which I haven't seen.)
Is the review positive or negative?
