That's called film grain and often it is not digitally removable. Blu-ray's can only be as crystal clear as the original source and since 90% of movies use actual cellenoid film you're going to get some sort of film grain. The only movies I've seen that have almost no film grain are CG fests like Transformers, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Spiderman 3, all of these use digitally enhanced imaging which requires that scenes be shot with the highest grade film and film grain is taken out when they insert CG images. CG images won't have any film grain since they are computer generated and not shot directly on the film; they have to take all film grain out in order for the CG to blend into the actual shot. This means that the master film has all the grain removed when it goes to the theater. Since DVD's and blu-rays are ported to the respective format from the master you can imagine how hard it must be to completely remove film grain from the masters. If it isn't done in pre-production it likely isn't ever going to get done. |
You sure man? I know some grain exists, but this one seemed excessive. I think only Miami Vice is worst, and if that isn't on purpose, what a horrible job filming they must have done.
