And yes reference quality means it looks just like it would in the studio when it is uncompressed or extremely close to it. No visible artifacting, DNR, edge enhancement. ect...
I wasn't asking what reference quality means, but thanks anyway.
What I meant with the question, is that I noticed a lot of grain in the movie, And sorry I didn't elaborate in the question, Sorry! Is there grain in all of the releases, are all the releases identical? <--- question for everybody.

That is my question
You can't ask me a question I asked for, that's why I don't have the answer.

i have the US version and i did not notice any grain at all. in fact, i,robot is one of the best PQ BD's i own. I would assume there is a different transfer for the scand. version.

Thanks, but is there anyone that can confirm this? I can read, I know two people already wrote
that they didn't remember any grain, but memory can be questioned, and: There is definitely not grain! is more of a strong answer...

As Jeff said, I' Robot has a very fine grain structure and let's not forget that *shock* it was actually shot on film.
Not being a smart ass - just have an issue with people asking for answers and expecting them in a silver platter without doing research themselves and then coping an attitude here. Examples:

See what I'm saying?

And the review I quoted was the one hosted here, written by Martin Liebman. If you don't consider his review to be reliable, well... I'm sorry.

The film is not grainy; wasn't meant to be or shot to have it (a la Bourne Trilogy for example) and the transfer is very faithful to the original; naturally it will have some - like you accurately pointed out, it was shot on Super 35 but beyond that, it's very smooth looking, even for a film-shot motion picture.

"I can read, I know two people already wrote

First of all, I wasn't expecting answer on a silver platter and I didn't have an attitude like you did.
They both wrote that they didn't remember any grain, and guess what?
there IS grain. I just meant that memories can trick you, memories are not accurate.
That's why I needed a "stronger" answer.

"You can't ask me a question I asked for, that's why I don't have the answer."
You left out the SMILEY before that line!
First of all I ASKED FIRST if there are any differences between the regional releases, and then Hendricks4333 asked ME the same thing, you can't ask somebody who just asked themselves! And I wasn't rude, I used a SMILEY!

"I wasn't asking what reference quality means, but thanks anyway."
I wasn't being rude, I wrote THANKS ANYWAY!!!!!!!!
And he answered a question I didn't ask.

You wrote GRAINY, that's not what I meant, I meant GRAIN.
there's a difference.
