This is quite the unremarkable transfer. Sure, it has its moments, the odd close up looks rich and detailed (especially when Tom is covered in dirt and sand in the opening attack) with some of the large shots of landscapes or planes coming in to land look pretty great but generally this is quite a washed out drab affair with a lot of grey’s and dull greens.
This part is probably a stylistic choice but I’m not sure the almost annoyingly fuzzy image was as well.

What at first seems like a thin layer of grain soon becomes far more apparent as quite a textured fuzz on the transfer. At first I thought my back light was set a bit too high for the transfer but after some tinkering, I just couldn’t shift it. This really is a problem is the darker scenes and one scene where the lights go out completely, you really see the fuzzy in all its glory.

What with the strong sense of fuzz, the soft look to the transfer and a real lack of depth to the image this is quite the let down even if it does have moments that shine.

As stated, Valkyrie is an unmistakably gorgeous work of filmmaking, taking place somewhere between the harsh contrasts of Saving Private Ryan, the cleanliness of the X-Men movies, and a warm reality. It’s interesting that Singer picked the 1.85:1 framing over 2.35:1, which almost every other film in his collection was filmed in, and it’s satisfying to note that he doesn’t touch the shaky-cam style that’s overtaken thrillers as of late. Despite all this realism and stoic camera movement this Blu-ray transfer isn’t as satisfying as I may’ve wanted. Colours are purposefully a little muted, but that Nazi red hits hard and bright when it’s needed, and the most realistic hues are free of compression noise or cross-colouration. The blacks are rich, but not always entirely free of minor colour perversion (which I think is fine and intended). The transfer’s problems are all about sharpness, which may be explained by the lenses Singer is sure to point out on the commentary track. It’s a sort of soft transfer overall, and the edges are a little fuzzy. I personally found the rather prevalent film grain aesthetically pleasing, but some viewers may be rubbed wrong by it.

Ich würde mal die Einstellungen des TV überrüfen, bzw ändern. Sieht nach Problemen verursacht durch übermäßigen Einsatz von "BILDVERBESSERUNG". Da ist Philips schon zu 100hz Röhren Zeiten negativ aufgefallen.
Schalt mal die Verbesserer aus.
