I’ve always wondered. Does anyone know why bluray/official releases always seem to have such a flat tone to the image - as if to mimic the monotone digital grading of recent Hollywood movies?

Never understood why, with many great films that have have such iconic imagery, someone goes to the trouble and cost of remastering the negative only to suck the life out of it. I’ve got loads of DVD and HDTV broadcast movies struck from older prints that beat the Bluray most of the time.

And for the life of me I really would like to know why they change the colour palette so noticably. Raiders, Star Wars trilogy, Lord of the Rings etc…
