Thanks for investigating SpaceBlackKnight, you really didn't have to go to such trouble

The Amazon-sourced open matte web-dl that I've seen online is definitely the teal version so just wanna make sure.

The main version to rent/buy on Amazon Video is the old HD master in OAR. iTunes Japan and Microsoft Store US are the BD master in OAR. Judging by the preview on a Korean VOD place (Naver), they had an OM version of the DVD master. For those who have Spectrum in certain areas in the US (I don't), I'm hearing that the version to rent on Spectrum On-Demand is also the DVD master in 1.78 in case the Korean storefronts are too difficult to get into.

Some good info on the last post of the blu-ray.com thread on the work and processes they went through to get the look they wanted and what was seen in theaters. The DVD mastering is definitely not what was intended but I'm still gonna snag a copy:

ENR doesn't look like the teal mess of the BD and the warning at the front of the dvd would tell anyone that.
We need to stop posting BD.com links as proof of anything

I don't know who the b****y forum poster is but the info they've posted was all on the DVD, so not new information.
I had the region 1 DVD when it was first released but never saw it theatrically, but did see a trailer and the colour was exhilarating. Admittedly the DVD doesn't hit those giddy heights but that master is a better starting place for a project than the blu will ever be. I get mad just thinking about the blu ray

SpaceBlackKnight, you fully rented and checked this on US/Amazon? |
