I know it is director's intent, but it can be ridiculous at times.

I would think that if the BD looks grainier that the theater it must be because the BD is SHARPER than the theater's image projected onscreen. When you see a print in a theater, due to several facrors the contrast function (the amplitude (sharpness) at the high frequencies) gets degraded. When I actually compared the 300 BD to a 3K (a 1400 x 3000 pixel file) grab I found the BD was just a smidge softer and less grainy that the digital 3k file viewed directly
