Don't confuse home video projection as being equal to TV. It is a totally different ball game. Blu Ray on a large flat panel TV can, more often than not, look grossly over saturated and very unnatural. Projected onto a large screen in a dark room however, blu ray comes into its own with a picture looking much closer to film. Top quality Super 8 prints can often look much more pleasing than projected Blu Ray. Case in point, my Derann print of That's Entertainment 3 has much better color than anything I can get on digital, which looks muddy by comparison. Same thing for Mickey's Christmas Carol , the blue ray screen shots look a disaster in comparison to the Derann S8 print.

It's just my opinion ... When I see new films, be it on Blu-Ray or cinema, I see the tint of blue or green, I believe it's mostly green. I can't say if my eyes is doing this or my brain, but that's what I see. When I saw Gremlins and the camera pans down the street when Billy goes to work, the background isn't moving as smooth as on the 16mm print. I guess I might be picky, but my friend and I see mostly the same things (he's even worse than me).
Had this problem with games when I collected them too. How can a game like Grand Theft Auto be sold in so many copies? It's absolutely appalingly coded with all the backgrounds stuttering. And people say it looks good. So I might be the problem myself, but that's how my brain receives this.
People are using Netflix and if someone here tells me that is good quality, I don't know. All my opinions and I can't change them because anyone says I should. Video give me much less satisfaction, film has given me a new hobby, which I apparantly love more than most. 2K cinema was even more horrible, with all the pixelations, especially in dark scenes. Almost threw up when I saw I am Legend, due to the quality. If my local cinema is bad or not, I don't know, but it's not better at the Odeon in London. The compression is not good enough and if you can't see the stutter of a missing frame or two, good for you. I see it and get a bad experience from it. My opinion
Sorry, I'll get out of this now and have not much more to say really.

Really a terrible idea from the studios. Film, as we all know, has it's own specific qualities that, even with adding "grain" to digital, just can't replace.
With everything becoming so lifelike, (with digital), I really don't care for it, as were just watching a digital projection.
Quite sad, but predictable.
