Weird Science (1985) -
Purchased this on Thursday. Avoid like the plague. Of the 300 or more blu's I own this Is one of the worst blu's I've seen. PQ is beyond awful, I couldn't continue watching. In true to form (when Universal goes goes bad... I'm aware there's a lot of great releases from Universal but this is not even one of the mediocre ones). It's an old master that's been overly lathered with the devil that is NR & then sharpened beyond belief. It gives a smoothed out chucky edged result. It's as if circles become square. The only thing it reminds me of to compare was the old days of VHS to VHS dubbing. A copy, of a copy, of copy, etc etc etc. Detail loss & fuzzy chunk. Opening logo gave promise, but downhill from there. Sadly the ok seems to only return on final shot of Kelly Lebrock as credits roll.
Greatly dissapointed.
