X-Men 3 Review

[Rio]

At least that review was wrong in 2 points:

1. PS3 does not decode DTS-HD. It plays DTS core only, when it plays DTS-HD MA track, its OSD says something like "DTS 48kHz 5.1ch 1.5Mbps".

2. X3 does have popup menu system during feature presentation.

X3 BD is very, very grainy film, but those heavy grains don't cause any compression artifacts - keeps very natural grain movement and very fine details. Never seen that kind of heavy grains with maintaining such high resolution on any other titles among BD and HD DVD titles. Someone who prefer video like, grain-free, clean look like Warner titles, would put a low score on X3. Those who don't like video look and prefer high resolution image would put a high score on X3.

Difference between X3 and Warner titles is well portrayed especially when a viewer uses high contrast, high resolution 1080p displays such as Pioneer PRO-FHD1/Panasonic TH-65PX600 plasmas and 1080p DLP projectors like Maranz VP-11S1. He/she will find more fine textures and details on X3 but Warner's lack those details but "clean" and flat on those displays.
