There’s a good amount of film grain present here from the original 35MM source (even after transfer to digital) although you’ll notice that not all the footage seems to have the same amount of film grain or in turn digital noise. In fact, it doesn’t really quite match up in terms of visual continuity either, as you’ll notice some shots appear a bit distorted at the sides or even sometimes top or bottom because of what I believe to be use of a spherical camera lense and the focus of the actual camera itself. What I’m referring to can be seen HERE. Notice how the faces of the cast members seem incredibly “soft” or almost out of focus? This can be a tiny bit bothersome at times and is quite honestly one reason this doesn’t earn a 100% perfect video quality rating. I know this was perhaps only the artistic intention of DP (director of photography) John Mathieson but it just doesn’t translate 100% perfect visually to Hi-Def. Still having said that, this offers one impressive Hi-Def visual experience, one with very minimal if any DNR (digital noise reduction), worthy of a “4.5 Star Rating” for overall video quality.
