This is horseshit. I can totally understand why people hate this film, but shortchanging the BD doesn’t make much sense. So many films nowadays find their audience on DVD, and Speed Racer will be a curiosity for many who didn’t want to pay ticket prices to see it. And Speed Racer could easily be demo material for the drooling "3D-pop" masses, so hopefully they’ll at least give the transfer a nice polish.

I respected what the Wachowski’s were trying to do with this film, even if they didn’t succeed. I’ll happily put myself in the minority with this one and wag my finger at Warner. Far worse films have gotten far better HD treatment.
