So I finally got an opportunity today to watch your Supernova blu-ray. First I'll mention that I don't have a burner so I extracted the film itself to lossless mkv using MakeMKV, and I play that on my external media player which handles mkv wonderfully. I did take a look at the menu video that plays and it's very well done.
Honestly I haven't seen this film look this good since I saw it in the theatre. Colors were wonderful, and there was a high amount of detail. Shadow detail was excellent, and blacks looks terrific. The sync was perfect. Motion was also perfect.
I did notice a couple instances of abnormalities, and I don't know if that was inherent to the source material or not:
- from 00:12:00 to 00:12:50 roughly, there are some weird artifacts on the screen during their prep for the jump. The screen seems to wobble and shift on and off, like faces seem to just shift and wobble. This begins just after the captain tells the doctor to use the other tube. I didn't notice this happen anywhere else. At first I thought it was the film but it doesn't really look like it is.
- At 01:00:34, just after Danica clocks him in the head and spits on him, a vertical bar appears on the right side of the screen for a few seconds - top to bottom, and the bar appears lighter than the rest of the screen. It only lasts a few seconds and then everything is normal again.
Really those are the only things that caught my eye. The presentation was excellent - far better than the DVD. This movie is definitely underrated. There are some fantastic visuals - some very striking imagery with the blue dwarf, and the Nightingale is a beautiful ship. It had a great cast and excellent acting. And Danica was gorgeous. I also thought it was funny that they chose the captain of the Cygnus from The Black Hole to be the captain here too.
Thanks a ton for sharing your work with us. I look forward to disc 2!
