Is Gangs Of New York Worth Picking Up? - Blu-ray Forum

It's tough to really see the quality of the film from your iPhone pictures, but the general consensus about Gangs of New York is that the quality is very low due to EE (Edge Enhancement) and DNR (Digital Noise Reduction).

there is definitely EE, but DNR means they remove the grain or something right? there is still some grain but it looks... strange. still looks good though. 4/5

I have not seen it myself yet, but early reviewers have said the grain looks processed, and a ton of high frequency detail is missing.

Seems a few places got this title early. Been at Circuit City last monday and they had it out on the shelves, however $29.99 was a bit pricey compared to my $22.95 pre-order from Amazon. So friday night my wife found it at Walmart for $22.95 and brought it. Haven't watched it yet though...

I sure hope Batman Begins will be early
