Talking of the DNRed TPM blu-ray transfer, I was looking on google and came across what look like screencaps here: http://www.fanpop.com/spots/star-wars-the-phantom-menace/images/27341708/title/phantom-menace-screencaps-screencap .The quality of these look nice and filmic, with clearly noticable grain.

Except this shot: http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/27300000/Phantom-Menace-screencaps-star-wars-the-phantom-menace-27341714-1280-720.jpg

That's some heavy DNR and EE all over the place.

Incidently, from what I have read, it seems the cinema transfer is identical to the blu-ray and has been DNRed to high heaven. It'd imagine that that DNR must be pretty painful to watch all enlarged on the cinema screen, especially in 3D...

Unfortunately, the mainstream doesn't care about it. Many people seem to think it looks good when all detail in a picture is smudged. Sad but true.

I remember when reading about Predator ultimate hunter edition on blu-ray. (You probably know it's one of the worst cases.) One customer on a site here in sweden wrote "The DNR is in my opinion a fantastic solution which I would love to see in more movies/releases."
