Ocean's 13 - what's the beef?

[scragham]

i read the reviews of O13 with increasing dismay because i love the movie and was really looking forward to it in HD. however, i kept my order and ended up getting it late last week. finally had a chance to watch it yesterday afternoon, and all i can say is... what's the beef?

honestly, this movie looks the way i remember seeing it in the theaters. this was no rinky-dink theater either, this was one of regal's nicer/newer ones, so no, the projector and gear and screen did not suck. IIRC, yes, the film in the theater was this grainy too... which leads me to believe that it's more (and here come those hated words...) directorial intent than anything else leading to the look.

i was very pleased. sound was no pirates or whatnot, but then again, it's not exactly meant to be an aural wonder anyway.
