The Arrival

I was just browsing DVDBeaver's Blu-Ray section and I stumbled upon their review of this. Am I nuts or is this thing even worse than Elf in terms of DNR?

Just checking to see if I'm crazy.

Yeah, I don't consider myself an expert on video quality, but it was a pretty poor looking disc. (though, obviously a step up from the old dvd). Sadly the film didn't hold up for me at all, I traded it in a while ago.

A number of these Lionsgate BDs are very cheap, and even though the DVD of this title is not 16X9 enhanced, I can't bring myself to upgrade it--or a number of other Lionsgate titles I have. I'm not an expert on video quality, but caps of many of these BDs look suspiciously like the DNR knob was cranked to 11, so to speak.

Actually, my experience thus far is that most of Lionsgate output looks better than I'd have expected it to...but maybe I'm crazy or haven't been looking closely?
