Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 06-01-2015 03:01 PM Our own Bill Hunt [URL=http://thedigitalbits.com/item/apollo-13-20th-bd]has reviewed[/URL] the Apollo 13 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray on his website, The Digital Bits: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Universal has released Apollo 13 on Blu-ray previously, most recently in a decent 15th Anniversary Edition. The good news about this new 20th Anniversary Edition, however, is that the film has been completely remastered in 4K from the original 35mm elements. And I'm here to tell you, it makes a big difference. Presented at its proper 2:35.1 aspect ratio and at the original theatrical length (no IMAX cut here), the new Blu-ray offers more image detail than I can ever recall seeing. It's nuanced detail too, refined and subtle without ever looking edgy or processed. Gone is the flutter on the edges of title text, for example. The added detail also helps even the weakest VFX shots of the Saturn V pre-launch (which were state of the art at the time) look more natural and blended into the film's textures. The color palette is rich and natural. Perhaps best of all, the dynamic range is superb. This presentation offers deep and detailed blacks on one hand, yet nicely bright areas too that are never blown out. In between the two, you get a wonderful range of contrasts. This film has quite simply never looked better on disc.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
