Don't be so certain, lots of people splurge in the spirit of the moment, and later regret it.

Am I the only one that thought the non-IMAX scenes were pretty dull and a bit blurry. Not all but most of it seemed that way. It seemed like it was between dvd and blu ray quality. Now the IMAX scenes were very sharp and detailed. I know its not my tv either cause ive gotten great picture from other movies. I dont know, just my opinion.

35mm scenes looked fine to me. TDK 35mm scenes is the one that looked like DVD compared to the IMAX scenes. Not in rises. WB did a much better job. And the IMAX scenes oh my. Beyond reference.

EDIT- By the way, the 35mm scenes is exactly how it looked in the theater.

And people wonder why WB processed the hell out of the TDK transfer...

[saprano]

Why?

EDIT- Is that comment towards me?

Because Nolan's photography and transfer process are inherently soft, and people expect their blockbusters to look sharp. WB didn't mess with it this time around, and now you have a bunch of people complaining that it looks like a DVD. No, my comment wasn't aimed at you.

Yes i know. I thought that comment was for me.

I agree with you. I don't remember this many people complaining about the 35mm scenes in TDK. It's pretty funny when you think about it.

I pay way more attention to how movies look in the theater now since I got into Blu-ray, and the 35mm scenes were soft in all three IMAX showings I saw at different theaters. The Blu-ray looks exactly like it did in the theater.

I didn't/don't find the 35mm stuff to be that troublesome. Looks clean, which is probably the best description I can think of for Nolan/Pfister's style.

Since this is neither a Dark Knight forum or a plot discussion thread, but a thread about the home video release of the film, which not everyone saw in theaters, I'd expect people to understand this and have the common decency to use spoiler tags for plot specifics, but of course, this is the internet, and that's expecting way too much.
And no, only mods and you can delete your posts.

I don't know about the PS3 but I don't think there is a way to do it on the 360. I like Mi did it on the vudu website.

No it doesn't. I prefer the original, creepier voice for some lines, like "with no survivors".

Hey! I'm surprised at how quick it's happening, dude, but prices are falling on eBay!
Take heart! Several recent auctions have failed to fetch even $100. Who knows how low it'll go!?!

True, Nolan explained he doesn't use a digital intermediate to develop his films from negative, he uses the traditional chemical process. That's the way he wants his films to look.

I think most people have the sharpness on their TV to 0, it helps if you put it back to factory default.

What should the sharpness level be at? I'm constantly messing with the sharpness, depending on what film I'm watching on BD.

Whatever zero is.

The sharpness control just applies a sharpening filter to the image, and should probably be whatever "off" is on your TV normally, otherwise you're just introducing artifacts into the picture. But if you feel a given transfer is too soft... that's why it's there. The appropriate amount of sharpening is dependent on your viewing distance... which is one of the many things wrong with baking it into the blu-ray encode.

Zero.
