Alot of Paramount titles are not that good for PQ or AQ. Mission impossible 3 is an exception.

I think Shooter and Disturbia are the best PQ of any Paramount release, however I heard Black Snake Moan is pretty good too. I thought all of the MI films were excessively grainy.

[TorpedoShockwave]

I have to agree, I have almost all of Paramount’s films, and most of them are grainy. All of DreamWorks’s films are great.

[Quinthoopachiefy]

I have Black Snake Moan and it is a really good Transfer. The First two Mission impossibles were not very good but the third I thought looked great. I have Shooter and that was a good transfer. It seems like they started to get their Sh$t together before they went exclusive.

[Quinthoopachiefy]

I love Disturbia from Dreamworks, it looked unreal. Probably my most watched BluRay title.

[FilmmakingFiasco]

I used to own the MI boxset on HD-DVD and I exchanged it for the blu-ray versions. Quite the mistake. For some reason, their MPEG-2 transfers are obnoxiously grainy. Sahara was like that too. I have Sleepy Hallow and I don't recall how bad it is. Like someone else said, Black Snake Moan looked pretty clean.

I thought that both Disturbia and The Shooter looked and sounded good on Blu.

[gvortex7]

No complaints about Black Snake Moan either.

My BD of "The Warriors" looks amazing.

Rattle and Hum was a documentary that was 1/2 shot on 16mm film, then cropped and blown up. The 35mm footage was shot in low light using VERY fast film. It's EXACTLY how it looked in the theaters. Nothing more they could do considering the source.

U2's movie IS grainy, it's in "documentary" stylized style. Always been grainy, always will.

Have you ever shot a photograph in Tri-X film?

Paramount is dead to me. On Oct 16th Brad Grey is going to pull a GOB Bluth..."I've made a huge mistake."
