The grain is something that a lot of people actually like from what I've been reading.

Oh that is why they called The Grainbusters.

Grain is part of the art of using film. It helps it feel real. You read in so many Blu-ray reviews, that when they took out all the grain, the film felt flat and digital. Hell, this is what I wrote in another thread about the Blu-ray a while back

I don't see why so many people hate film grain so much. I was just talking to my friend about this very issue too. Grain, is part of the art of filming on film. Grain is supposed to be there. 9.7 times out of 10, it's a good thing. If it's excessive, I can see wanting to reduce it. But a major problem is that so many Blu-Rays overdo the DNR and makes the film look digital and flat. Look at the Star Trek movie Blu-Rays. Every reviews mention the problem of too much DNR.

I'm glad that they kept the grain for this release. Makes it feel more natural and real and brings out the feel of the film.

And about the “original tape”, that's film so there's grain too. So grains not a “problem”. I personally LOVE grain and HATE (overly done) DNR on my Blu-Rays. In fact, it's BECAUSE of the grain and still high-def details thats why the Ghostbusters Blu-Ray is not only the best transfer of this movie I have seen, but it's also one of the best Blu-Ray transfers of any film I own/have seen in the format.

The grain didn't bother me at all. IMO besides effects wise the film looked so clear like it was a film released today. and effects i never expected to be improved as it was not a remaster but rather a bluray transfer. Honestly ghostbusters IMO is one of the best looking transfers of a movie made before bluray was out (as some films e.g Dark knight are pretty much done with hd in mind)
