I don't want to be deceived about the PQ. You know it's a Warner flick anyway.
So it seems I will have to wait for a pro review before I open the package.
Though it should be OK for a VC-1 encoded movie.

I won't lie... you will notice a heavy grain on '300'. But, in the commentary with the director he explains very early on that the image is created using a technique called "CRUSHing". He says that he purposely oversaturated the image and blew out the contrast in order to pay hommage to the graphic novel it was based on. Personally, I think he over did it on the technique. But, at the same time, it is still the far superior visual presentation of the film. And, you can't go wrong with that.
