I doubt anything else is as bad as the new predator blu-ray, that's horrible. :)
Yeah, I think that's one of the worst blu-ray releases ever.
But what's even worse is that the mainstream doesn't understand how bad DVNR is. On discshop, a swedish online shop where I buy my blu-rays, some customers posted their reviews of the Predator ultimate hunter edition:
"Got a little discouraged when there were so many negative reviews about DNR but in my opinion it's a fantastic solution that I'd love to see on more films/releases. Superb picture and sound didn't make this masterpiece worse."
"I read all these reviews about this film but still decided to buy it. I was 9 when the film was released and I must say that this was like watching a brand new film! Really f***ing good picture, impressive!"
"Really good-looking... This is how an old re-released film should look!"
Reading this, it's not hard to understand how film companies like Lucasfilm can easily get away with releasing a heavily DVNR'd blu-ray. Though it's not as bad as Predator of course.
