"Warner Home Video has made EXCALIBUR available on Blu-ray Disc in a
1.78:1 aspect ratio presentation that has been encoded onto the disc with the AVC codec. EXCALIBUR features a fine 1080p presentation that makes the most of the film’s diffuse/misty/gauzy cinematography. With an
intact grain structure, there are no indications that the image has been further softened in the digital realm, with the picture producing a textured appearance. In high definition, EXCALIBUR demonstrates better image detail than I have ever witnessed on this title previously. Colors are somewhat subdued, and look absolutely correct considering early eighties film stocks and the other stylistic choices being made by Boorman and cinematographer Alex Thomson. Blacks are reasonably accurate, as are the whites. Contrast looks good, but is a little flat due to the afore mentioned stylistic choices. Shadow detail is acceptable, but can drop off into the abyss in places. The elements from which EXCALIBUR has been mastered appeared relatively clean. Grain is ever present, and is sometimes a little heavy, which maintains the film-like quality of the presentation.
EXCALIBUR is presented on Blu-ray Disc with a 5.1 channel DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack. Considering that EXCALIBUR originated in the Dolby Surround era, the soundtrack has been very nicely upgraded.

Commentary with co-writer/director John Boorman. A Theatrical Trailer close out the extras.
EXCALIBUR is an earthy and bloody adaptation of Arthurian legend that has lost none of its power after thirty years. The Blu-ray offers the finest home presentation of EXCALIBUR that I have ever seen. Recommended.

"The transfer loses a few points, however,
as a result of the inexplicable cropping of the image from the original aspect-ratio of 1.66:1 to 1.78:1. The unnecessary cropping causes the framing too look noticeably tighter (here for example), with heads often ‛cut’ in half near the top of the screen. Overall this is a good transfer, hampered by unnecessary cropping."
Εν ολίγοις...
διαβάζονται και άλλα reviews για το BR...
Κρόπαραν την ταινία από το 1.66:1 σε 1.78:1... το οποίο δημιούργησε προβλήματα..
Η αρχική ταινία είχε αρκετό grain το οποίο έχει εξαληφθεί αρκετά στο BR... και η εικόνα έχει γίνει πιο μαλακή..
Καλώς να έρθει να το δω... και να κρίνω....
