Echt? Mist. Nicht vorher gelesen.

Unbedingt mal am Anfang beim Streetfight auf Danny Glovers Liebestöter achten.

Aufgefrischt. Der ist immer noch geil! Sehr sogar. Die Qualität der BD ist gut bis sehr gut, kein Vergleich zur muchtigen DVD. Schön brutal auch und gute Sprache galore. Ja, MANN!

Predator 2 is presented in a fairly unimpressive AVC encode (1.85:1) at a resolution of 1080p. Color saturation and contrast is improved upon a little, but the rest of the high-def presentation falls pretty flat. The image is generally soft, and although this may be par for the course on a catalogue title such as this, it's not just the source that contributes to the complete lack of depth on this transfer. DNR has most definitely been applied to try and clean things up a little, although there's still some film grain that's been left intact. I can't say this was the smartest thing to do with Predator 2, at least with how the source material looks at the moment. DNR is never acceptable in my mind, but why utilize a process that takes away clarity and detail when the film is already sporting a semi-soft focus? Not to mention the print itself isn't the cleanest I've seen from a catalogue title, and Predator 2 is pretty dark and gritty by nature. There are also some minor compression artifacts that can be seen throughout, as well as some edge enhancement now and again.

I know the main question most of you have is how this compares to the standard def DVD, and if this is really worth the upgrade or not. All I can really say is, "Eh, not really." There is a small boost in clarity and detail once in a while, but the picture overall isn't really that much different than the special edition DVD that's been released.

Die Qualität der BD ist gut bis sehr gut, kein Vergleich zur muchtigen DVD.

Die BD-Scheibe hätte ohne Frage besser sein können, ist aber insgesamt in Ordnung; die DVD kenn ich nicht. Ich hatte trotz alledem meine Freude daran, den Film wiederzusehen.

Hängste jetzt nur noch bei Sylvio ab? Räum lieber mal Deine Butze auf!

Hab die DVD aus dieser Century3-Edition. Die sieht ganz gut aus. Liegt wahrscheinlich auch am Fernseher.

[Sylvio Constabel]

Klar. Auf Röhre sehen alle DVDs gut aus.

Deswegen gefallen mir die Haubenweiber
