The worst DNR Blu-ray ever?

I can see what looks like actual skin pores where as the Blu-Ray looks too smooth and clean and digital. Liam Neeson is an even stronger offender of this through out with medium shots and close-ups looking as flat as a pancake.

No offense, but you don't know what you're looking at. DVD artifacts splashed all over her face are NOT pores. Go to the blu ray pic - See those zits/bumps on top of each other seperated by about 1/4 inch on the end of her nose? (just to the right of the shadow line directly between her cheek dots) You don't see it on the DVD jpeg. Fact. It's lost in the DVD noise.

That is NOT better, by any reasonable definition of "better" in this context.
