Hi Ronnie ,

To be honest , some of the material was distracting in its own right not really for picture quality related reasons .

Its clear from Ridley Scott's introduction that the ' Director's Cut ' is the theatrical version which is selectable independently on this disc .


Personally , I find this film enthralling any time I put it on and didn't really find anything particularly objectionable about the presentation though I have seen some screen caps which I still think are appalling in that they got through 'Quality Control '

The most disgraceful thing is how the ' Academy' could overlook Sir Ridley for Best Director !!!!

P.S. Terrific documentary from Charlie de Lauzrika which runs longer than the film and is right up there with the LotR documentaries for attention to detail.

Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
