I’ve been going through with a fine toothed comb since getting my copy, and also posting over in the blu-ray.com thread. Overall, this is a new low even for Warner. It’s the worst disc of the year. The audio errors still being there and the DNR pass would be one thing, but those in addition to additional audio work being done with some new audio errors popping up, color timing issues and hideous compression is unforgivable.

I watched through the whole run on my OLED, and the compression artifacts never stopped. They’re so bad it mixes in with the little bit of grain that’s left and just creates noise everywhere in addition to having frozen noise halos around every person or object.

I’m working on doing a video review for my YouTube channel but to be honest, it’s going to have to be another one like my Godfather UHD review where I have to just go all in on how bad the problems are.
The worst part is that you can see the source scan before all the crap was done is the best we’ve ever had and that factor is leading most people to think it’s perfectly fine and that we’re talking about nothing.
