Your post is very interesting to me since I watched the mpeg2 version yesterday night to see why some think its too grainy. I am kind of baffled that people have said its a "grainfest" or I like Predator minus the grain. Its not that grainy IMO. The movie as a whole is not as grainy as you think it would look from the beginning Fox logo.
Cliff who has seen a theatrical version says the mpeg2 is a accurate representation of the movie. Grain and all. Again my problem is not necessarily the removal of grain but the high contrast and brightness of the new version.
