At first I thought something was wrong with my setup like maybe i was in 480p for some reason but nope, it's just the movie. In fact, I think my original DVD of the same movie being upconverted through my DVDO VP50 processor looks quite a bit better than the BD playing from my PS3. Anyone else have this and seeing these major jaggies in it? the hi-def digest site didn't comment on this in their review so i was wondering what's up, is it just my copy?
thanks

It's the disc. Warner has all but admitted fault. They've corrected the problem since then. Though, considering the nature of the problem, in that filtering caused it, still makes their high def authoring somewhat suspect. Other titles specifically affected include with both loss and aliasing: The Fugitive, Full Metal Jacket, Perfect Storm (hopefully why PS has been delayed), and Lethal Weapon 1. Though considering the unnatural softness of Unforgiven, Lady in the Water, and some others, you have to wonder if they're still filtering some of their titles, but they just figured out how to do so without introducing aliasing.
