alien wrote: I keep hearing that one of the Laserdisc releases of AR is the only way to see the film in its proper ENR colour timing and that the DVDs and Blu-Ray are wrong, is this true? Also can someone offer a comparsen or 2 of the "correct" LD vs the "wrong" DVD or BD. This really has me interested. You are correct, its the only home version to use a bypass master Thx f***ed it up as usual tho so he pq is not amazing

I captured the DTS LD (that “seems” to be different from the THX AC3 one), and compared it to BD. Conclusions: LD has richer, punchy colors, with golden skin tones, while BD has duller colors, but natural skin tones; LD has more contrast, a bit more details in the shadows, a slightly increased sharpness. LD has more image on both sides, but less on the bottom, and also misses a single frame; this, along with the fact the image, even if correctly resized, doesn’t match with the BD due to some image aberrations (stretch and rotation) should mean they used completely different masters. All these clues may lead to think that the master used for the DTS LD is indeed a silver retention processed print. Last thing: BD has the infamous magenta blanket applied all over it, even on the Fox logo; just look at fire, explosions, light flashes, reflections on water etc. Comparison screenshots: top DTS LD, bottom BD:

The colour timing on the LD is way better. The BD has that infamous magenta push because its using the same old master as the DVD from the early 2000's. Many DVDs from around this time were graded this way and they are wrong, The 2001 special edition DVD of The Terminator is another example of this (of which the corresponding 2006 BD of The Terminator has the same issue). Thankfully the remastered 2013 Blu-Ray of The Terminator fixed this.
