    That's the rub though: I'd argue that the 2007 HD remaster is not even up to the standard of "exactly as it was in theaters," as far as the viewing experience goes. If the 2007 HD remaster was shown in a modern theatre as is, (as in seeing the level of grain and inconsistencies that one sees when viewing the DVD) I would assume something was wrong with the film/projector/etc., and possibly even demand my money back. There's something messed up about being better off watching a film on VHS on an old low resolution CRT television, rather than on a digital disk on a high resolution flatscreen TV.

    Thanks for the reply, and sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I'll have to watch DYRL again when I get the chance, to see this first hand. That's a shame that a truly great remaster is held back by such a process.

    Okay, perhaps I need to elaborate. I understand that a certain degree of grain on older, non-digital celluloid film based movies is expected when remastering/upscaling/etc. What I don't understand is why the level of grain is so all over the place, in terms of consistency, on the 2007 DYRL remaster DVD. Some scenes I don't even notice the grain at all. Some scenes, the grain is a pleasant accent. But in some scenes the grain is this obnoxious, overpowering, fuzzy static haze that is absolutely deleterious to the image quality and viewing experience. (This is especially prominent in scenes with a lot of pitch black darks.) It's to the point where even though the HD Remaster is an official licensed product, I find myself pining for literal bootlegs that I used to own. I'm just curious how or why they dropped the ball this bad? Did they at least get things right on the Blu-ray releases?

    Anyone know why the 2007 Macross DYRL HD Remaster DVD is so grainy? It's supposed to be an HD Remaster, but at times I feel like I might as well be watching a low resolution video on YouTube.
