Received my Gump disc today, skipped though it and unfortunately don't like what I see.
Even when it looks good, it looks bad to my eyes. Looks as if someone tried to make it look like a digitally shot film to me.
I also took two caps of a scene that imo had rather offensive DNR and looked really waxy to me throughout:
As you can see, the BD actually isn't really any better, but that's not an excuse for the UHD looking like crap imo.
I also spotted some awful looking "standing grain or whatever you want to call it" which imo is the result of the applied filtering in two scenes so far. The first one was the 'Forrest having an "accident" when being initimate with Jenny' scene, the other one is in the example below (the BD frame doesn't match at all because it doesn't matter).
The UHD really has some terrible "compression/artefacts/whatsoever" here while the BD at least still looks like somewhat consistent grain to me. The cap unfortunately doesn't manage to show how bad it looks in motion. And I really don't think it looks like it does, because that's natural grain.
Utterly disappointing relase imo. Even when it looks good, it doesn't look like film to me resp. looks very processed to my eyes. And I find it worse in motion than I thought it'd be based on caps' caps.
I think it still looks better than the BD, but it still sucks. Just my 2 cents.
