Gremlins 2 Blu-Ray remaster.
I just finished watching Gremlins 2 blu-ray remaster. Here's my mini-review.. This is a movie I'm well acquainted with and have seen several times in the past. I enjoy it as a parody film it was even a parody of the first film I also enjoyed the fun campy nature of the film and even the part where they break the fourth wall during the latter part with "monsters in the projection booth".
On the technical side:
Picture: The 1080p transfer seems serviceable. It resembled film to me especially during the fourth wall breaking sequence which is nice. I wouldn't have liked it if they had removed the film grain and along with it part of the detail.
Sound: There have been cases where the remastered AC3 or even DTS surround sound track doesn't sound as good to me as the old VHS tape Hi-Fi stereo track. Moonwalker for example sounded better to me on VHS tape on my older Pioneer Dolby Pro Logic from ~20 years ago than on my current system.
I'm happy to say this is not one of those cases.
Gremlins 2's DTS soundtrack sounds really good and preserves the character of the original mix pretty well in my opinion. Only with more discrete channels involved... so in a way it sounds better.
