Sum of Us, The | R1 |
Information from a reader: "I have just viewed the R1 version of The Sum Of Us (and the R4 version for that matter) and have an update for your review. The R1 is a DVD-10 with 1.85:1 16x9 enhanced version on one side and a 1.33:1 open matte version on the other (I've compared a few shots to make sure it was open matte). They appear to be two totally different film-to-video transfers as the 1.85:1 has many more film artefacts, it's also softer. The 1.33:1 open matte is near perfect, in fact stunning. Clean, crisp and clear - I spotted two film artefacts throughout the entire feature and the grain is nearly non-existant - it literally looks brand new. The dot crawl from the R4 version is also gone in both R1 transfers. The audio is also correct - left is left and right is right - still Dolby 2.0 obviously. The only extra is a trailer." "With this in mind I'd say the R1 is a clear winner - despite how much I object to having to buy Australian movies overseas." |
