Observe the chroma in the roofs in the fifth screenshot and on the
shoulder of the man on the right of the last screenshot. Other
artifacts, such as jagged lines, are unfortunately plentiful. The
color is fine, but the black level is generally flat. I'm not sure
what happened to this transfer to make it so different from the
others. No particular fault can be found with the subtitles or audio. |
