The Fugitive (1993)
HD Video - 8/10
HD Audio Dolby Digital Plus - 7/10
I was a little disappointed by too much noise in the picture during a few select scenes in The Fugitive (probably only make up a few minutes in total) but the daylight scenes really do look just as good as the Unforgiven HD DVD. This was a tough one to rate video wise because even the worst looking scenes still make the SD look like someone ran a fine comb down the picture + there is a lot of film grain on the SD DVD which doesn't help. The HD still has a three dimenional look in certain scenes (The Ambulance chase & wide shots of Chicago) but some night time scenes are plagued by noise & reds seem to be a bit too red at times, but blacks as usual, with every HD DVD I've seen so far, are rock solid & other than digitial noise, there isn't any artifacts with the VC-1 compression. Should I give this video presentation a 8 or 9? Defintely isn't a 10.. maybe a 8.5. Don't do decimals, so a 8 will suffice.
