I have been waiting for this statement, and now I have to confess:
I BOUGHT EPISODE IV OF THE GOUT JUST TO SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES.
Some aspecs of the transfer are nice, compared to the fan preservations. Like natural grain and enhanced horizontal resolution. And the colours are again how I remembered Star Wars.
But most aspects are unquestionable ridiculous. The "double line" artifacts on this release clearly makes it ->totally<- unacceptable.
If some people can live with this, fine. Let them enjoy these DVD´s.
But these are, and this is a not deniable fact, worse than about 90% of the DVD´s I own in my posession (386).
Flash Gordon, my favourite example of a movie which is apparently more important than the OOT, looks like a brand new movie compared to this shoddy release! Well, the European Kinowelt release does. Imagine, a very small (compared to Fox and Lucasfilm) German label manages to bring this really trashy movie in a nearly pristine quality to DVD!
Nope, this OOT release is NOT of good quality. There is , from my point of view, ABSOLUTELY no argument against this. You simply can not defend this release without trying to lie about the facts, or deliberately badmouthing those who rightfully oppose this release.
