TERMINATOR SALVATION "Director's Cut Blu-Ray"

[drsnarf]

La versión de Sony (que es la que se venderá en México) incluye ambas versiones en 1 sólo disco. Esos 3 minutos extras que aparecen en el corte del director, según he leído, sólo son las típicas escenas con un poco más de sangre y desnudos que fueron cortadas para que el filme recibiera la clasificación PG-13 en gringolandia.

Esta es una reseña de la edición británica (1 disco) de Terminator Salvation distribuida por Sony, que a excepción de opciones de idioma, subtítulos y menús, debe ser idéntica a la que salga en México:

Encontré lo siguiente en la reseña que menciona octavio, en donde tristemente explica que la calidad del video sí se tuvo que reducir para lograr las 2 versiones de la peli en un solo disco y también incluir todo el contenido (extras y audios), básicamente nos dice que viene en

" ...obviously this is better than having the entire film repeated three times on the disc (which would add up to just under 6hrs of 1080p footage), but there still remains around 2hrs:38mins worth of 1080p footage on this disc. Combine this with the fact there are two high bitrate DTS-HD tracks accompanying all this footage (Original English and an Italian dub) and the end result is that all the Fulll-HD, AVC footage has an average video bitrate of just a touch under 20Mbps. This is low, and you can feel the strain frequently throughout the film (regardless of which version you’re watching) in the form of compression artefacts like banding and most gratingly: obvious blocking. Just watch the early sequence where John Connor is navigating the dark tunnels of the Skynet human observation lab (where we first see Marcus Wright’s body) and you’ll see annoying compression problems.

Aside from disappointing compression foibles, Terminator Salvation looks very nice. Both the Theatrical and Director cuts of the film present the same high-quality video, so I’ll just speak about both versions as one here: Colours are especially vibrant – I know, I know, the post-apocalyptic future look is bleached out and very muted, but there are many night time and dark interior sequences that are heavily lit with primary colours where the colours positively pop off the screen, and the only bleeding that is particularly noticeable is a tiny amount in the opening credits. In keeping with the gritty approach to the future world, grain ranges from a light, reasonably sharp layer to a very nicely defined thicker layer that really has a lovely texture to it, which alongside the occasional pop and fleck would suggest that the transfer hasn’t been nuked by noise reduction, but some FX heavy scenes do look unnaturally smoothed out - like when Marcus gets his first look of the post-apocalyptic world he’s woken up in.

For the most part the picture is suitably sharp, this is not the most detailed transfer on the medium but there is a very satisfying level of fine detail in both close ups and long shots. Edge Enhancements are in play throughout though, sometimes with noticeably thick halos. Given the bleached-out look of the film, contrast and brightness have a tendency to look blown out, which seem obviously in keeping with McG’s intentions, black levels are excellent and shadow detail is good. Really it’s just the compression issues that particularly irked me, and the main reason for that is because Warner Home Video’s upcoming US release will be giving both cuts of the film their own disc each. How much do you want to bet that the video bitrates for both versions will be considerably higher on that release? "
