Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

[Arkadin]

under the forum tab of this title's details page there is nothing, so I don't know if there is a hidden thread for this release or not.
anyway, watched this bd tonight, and wow, it looks VERY impressive.
I mean I was absolutely floored at how good this blu-ray looks overall, and though the dvd--which I have--is not bad, this blu-ray provides a noticeable and significant improvement in all areas.
It provides an excellent representation of the source material, which not surprisingly looks exactly like you think it would--somewhat soft and drab, with an abundance of extremely dark scenes.
The thing is, this blu-ray transfer really shows great clarity, and handles these
many dark scenes much better than you would ever expect.
I would actually say with no hesitation this is one of the best looking blu-rays of a 70's film I have seen.
Also, the few daylight scenes look nothing short of phenomenal imo.
plus, the DTS-MA soundtrack is fantastic, with the many atmospheric sounds effects sounding as clear as ever.
In short, anyone who loves this cult classic will be thrilled with MGM's effort imo.
It is a real winner.
