Yes- the visibility was OK and this is probably why I have such a nonplussed feeling on the video quality.

What happens is the image looks very washed out as if someone turned up the brightness control far too much. No doubt about it that more contrast ratio would help and this exposes a weakness in even the better DLP projectors. I had never seen the image look like this from any other movie before- therefore this is a good test sequence.

Mark, did you see it in the theater? Did it have the same result?

The DP on the movie said their objective was to go from dark to light throughout the movie. Its a very interesting movie on different levels. It doesn't always work IMHO but interesting none the less. And I think the music is very good too.

Btw- I thought the acting was very good, I don't understand anyone complaining about Jackman's acting on this. I thought he and Rachel Weitz (sp?) were very good.
