If the caps here
http://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=6653042&postcount=40 are accurate*, doesn't impress me at all. I AM DISAPPOINTED.

I now can't believe this would have anything to do with the Sony restoration (unless Sony's regular people were on holidays during the restoration...

). But as I mentioned earlier, Brucker has just barely left Sony, and must have been aware of the restoration so I don't know why they would use any other master.
The grain structure makes me think of an older DVD era master. But I don't know.
* Don't view the caps in Firefox unless you have changed the value of gfx.color_management.mode from 2 to 0.

If it is still 2 (which is default) it will show these caps incorrectly.
