And that laser...awful. That shot is recomposited, notice how the difference in grain between the 70mm and the Blu-ray is much more visible than in the other comparison.

 Are you sure about that? the difference in grain, could it not just be the result of Lowry?

A lot of the recomposited lasers in that sequence have the same problem - the glow element is way too saturated and fat, there's no difference in opacity/density between the beam and the surrounding glow, and the actual beam shape just looks like a stencil on top of the glow.

This same unnatural effect is seen on these lights in the walls as well:

I doubt there's any recomposited lasers in there, just screwed up levels, it affects everything. I guess some details can be restored but the real damage cannot be undone, once clipped...
