I use Photoshop a lot, and took a course in After Effects, but most of all I devour all kinds of bonus features, and I just need to remember the amazing restoration work they did on "The Red Shoes". Yeah, I am sure they could have done a better job. It's god, but not perfect, especially the first third.
The beginning is incredible, but once he goes to the dessert the problems start popping up.

I trust my own eyes, and ears.

Reviewers also gave the original Casablanca release 5/5, and oh, big surprise, they did another restoration, and it looks considerably better in very way.

Nothing is perfect, so there is always room for improvement.
You honestly don't think so?

You are dealing in absolutes, and must therefore be a Sith.

If it were my system, how come other films don't suffer similar artifacts?

I am just extremely sensitive to any visual anomalies, I am afraid.

I wish I didn't see the problems, but I do.

Anyways, it's a great disc, but it could be better.

I don't think there is any room for improvement, no. And I think if there was, it would've been addressed not only on the 1989 restoration but the 2 years of work they did for the 2012 blu-ray.

And the original Patton got 5 for PQ as well, but that means nothing. It was an older time, and we know better now. So trying to compare a 4 year old review to something now isn't really any measure of standards that can be added to argument.

And The Red Shoes is a completely different film - shot differently, in a different era, with different film stocks, not to mention the negatives were stored differently. Again, yo can't compare one restoration to another, because they will all yield varying results depending on all of the above.
