Christmas Vacation PQ?

[bbyers70]

Christmas Vacation on BD is the worst transfer I've ever seen. I wish Warner would recall them and give it the quality transfer it deserves.

The opening animated sequence is full of grain and the whites are a grayish color. Later on the picture quality is a little better but not much. It has a "soft" look (just like the dvd) and the sharpness of close-ups is missing.

The soundtrack is OK since there is little improvement that a complete 5.1 mix can help with. The only scene in the movie that would benefit from the 5.1 mix is when santa and his reindeer are launched by the explosion from the sewer gas.

Hopefully enough people complain to Warner and they re-issue a new release with a all new transfer. Like was done with the Fifth Element.
