The rotoscoping around them is pretty obvious. Does it look as bad in motion?
Grease sure sounds like it should again based on those youtube clips. 😃
It’s not terrible but far FAR from great. IMO they softened the edges of the people too much that they almost look like ghosts. The tracking of the Pepsi poster is off in a few spots. The shot where Rizzo says ‘With relish’ the poster shifts slightly. I guess the Sing-A-Long version with the poster removed altogether is a bit believable although by a tiny margin.
And yes there’s been an almost unanimous praise of the sound. It’s great to hear the film this way again without all the distractions of the '98 mix. Honestly, the sound and restoration of the original Paramount logos are what sold me on this release.
Looking closer does this look like a digital alteration or perhaps a result of restoring or color adjusting?? This may date back to the RR edition but on the SAL and 40th anniversary releases the light glare on the glass that partly covers the Coke/Pepsi poster is much fuller and brighter compared to the 2002 DVD to where you can’t see through it.
Also there’s been a lot of complaints about this. Look at Danny’s face. This is on the 40th Anniversary release.
Here it was previously.
So yeah apparently a coloring error on the new release.
