| Enough has been said about how unique this quality film is but I was wondering if anyone has seen the blu-ray for this? I got it recently and felt there is a lot more footage in this than the dvd I had from awhile back. Criterion did an amazing job, as usual, in making the movie look fantastic. PQ is just proper. |

It was almost certainly shot on 35mm film, which has a far higher resolution than HD (1080p).
Unless the filming was poor, it shouldn't be a problem for any editing house on the planet to transfer it to BluRay.
The difference you were seeing was simply the player/TV you watched it on, before/after the HD conversion. |

| I'd have to disagree with that since im using the same equipment i saw the dvd on for the blu-ray (ps3). A lot of the grain has been removed, colors pop, better clarity of details like dents in helmet. But I am no AV buff so this is just opinion. |

Yeah, there's a lot of difference between the resolution of DVD format and the resolution of HD (Bluray). This is what I meant by "before/after the HD conversion".
The best way you'll ever see it is in it's analogue form, ie. 35mm film. But you can't do that at home :p |

Yeah you could if you had a 35mm film projector. |

| And what self-respecting film critic wouldn't have a 35mm projector in their home :o |

| I even have super8 projector... I bought it with the 35mm one at a yard sale in Milwaukee for $45 and a pb&j sandwich when I was trekking through the mid west on a search for reasonable priced shingles. |

Chunky or creamy? If it was chunky, you got ripped off. |

It was creamy that I made chunky. If you know what I mean.
