I didn't have time to watch the whole movie yet, but I did do a quick comparison between the retail DVD and digitalfreaknyc's DVD. Huge difference. So much more detail and none of the ringing or graininess present on the retail release. The color temperature is very different, but after viewing both, I'm inclined to say the retail release is far too hot. Flesh tones look sunburned and fire is oversaturated. The color temp of the HD version (and digitalfreaknyc's DVD) is probably closer to correct.

I'd kill to have a 1080p version in WMV or QuickTime format.
