I noticed several places were there was that 'digital blur' during running / camera panning scenes. Also, some night scenes (such as when they are chasing the guy with torches) was very 'digital-grainy'. Overall, the quality of the digital cameras were impressive, but still (at present) have a little more ways to go to match 35mm. Liked it, but agree with others in that it's more of an action film, than a social statement-type film.  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-19-2007 03:22 PM                    But you saw it on standard DVD dude! What kind of monitor? Maybe it was something in YOUR setup rather than the movie. Maybe check it out on Blu-Ray with a high quality monitor and see what you think.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 11-20-2007 07:31 AM                     Yes; good point; I watched it on a regular DVD. But, it's the first time I'd seen this even though I've watched other digitally-generated films. I guess I make it seem like the photography was bad, but it's not. Except for those few examples, it was very good, but you could tell right away it was digital.  |  IP: Logged
