You must have a problem with cables or something because the picture looked damn near perfect on my set-up and certainly wasn't anywhere near "horrible".

We watched this movie this evening on the PS3. All I can say is wow. We really enjoyed the movie itself and as dark as this movie is I could not pick out any noise. On the Ruby the blacks looks great. The playback itself was flawless on the PS3. I did not think to look at the extras though.

The movie scared the crap out of us in a few scenes too. We watched the unrated version.

We also saw rumor has it and it was another fine bluray disc. Getting really hard to enjoy DVDs anymore, so I don't watch them.

I'll check my cables tonight... maybe its one of those movies where its "supposed" to look that way lol. black hawk down looked the same when I saw it first so maybe a second time will look different.

If by "noise" you mean grain then yes there is grain on the very clear transfers like The Descent. Anything shot on film is going to have grain simply because film is nothing but grain; the picture is just made up of little pieces of the color chemical stuck to the film (check: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...2grain+good%22 in Deciazulado's & GoldenRedux's posts for a good explanation.)

I got it last night and watched it. Good movie. Quality I would say is Tier 2 on my 46" XBR3. Maybe 1. Didn't see a whole lot of noise like some have talked about. Using PS3 here.

Thx for the quick explaination, now that I relooked at it it does look that way. I think I always say noise because im just lazy and its easier.. One scene I dislike is the shot of the trees in the mountains, to me it wasent focused enough and would have looked really cool, anyone else have specific spots you dislike?
