According to the samples, the colors look fantastic, actually.
No DNR to speak of either, there is actually visible grain.
This really is the best the film has ever looked, color wise and transfer wise.
But that screw up is really annoying.
I don't mind an encoded BD, at 1080p with 11 MBPS, the results can look perfect and still remain at a reasonable size.
The sound is a different matter.
No one has compared it to the DEHT or the 1997 mix.
It's probably a new mix, but I do not know if it's good or bad.
