Well there is no video to play. So I don't know exactly what he said.
But he could mean the grain was minimized, which it was. NO DOUBT! That film was grain to the max. And the BluRay is not. But it still has grain and it looks like it was given DNR to reduce that grain. That is what DNR can do. I have seen it with my own eyes on my own films.
There is still ZERO evidence that the grain was removed and then fake grain was added. I am waiting to see that. When I do, I'll say OK.
