Movie Reviews of Patton [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Blue Ray Version may not be what you want
Summary: 2 Stars
First let me start off by saying that I think Patton is one of the greatest movies ever. This is a review of the blue-ray disc and it's over use of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction). The source elements for this movie where shot on 65mm film, so the image should exhibit a very fine grained texture to it. The DNR has made the movie look exceedingly clean to the extent of looking like digital video rather than film. This has caused a softness and lack of detail in the movie.
Want an example? Go to time code 11:59, it shows a wide shot of a battlefield with a dog in the center left. The dog leaps forward, but he halts and jerks back in midair for no reason. The reason for this is the dog is teathered by a leash. It's been virtually erased from the film by "cleaning it up with DNR". In a still frame you can barely discern a thin line attached to the dog. Yes you should see the dog leash, watch your old dvd copy. The blue ray might look good on a small screen but as you go up in screen size more of these problems stand out. This disc doesn't represent the movie's photography and doesn't live up to blue-ray's potential. Film is a medium that the movie artist paints his creation on. With DNR they can change the medium and thus change the movie.
I hope that maybe they will see thier mistake and pull this blue-ray and give us one from the source.
