Somewhere between the film element and the Blu-ray this particular Amadeus has been turn to something odd and Patton-esque. Not necessarily soft, certainly clean, but with virtually no feel of film or cinema whatsoever, this Amadeus is an unwelcome surprise.
For those who like the music, close your eyes and you'll be fine.
My overall feeling about the release is that had less been done to the video master, it may have been a roaring success. As it is...
Not an especially good day for Warner Home Video, who incidentally, may have had nothing to do with the transfer.

As an Academy Award Best Picture, the Blu-ray of Amadeus is best re-called, re-scanned and re-issued without all of the extra processing that went into this disc.
Make it simple. Just release the film on Blu-ray without cleaning it up.
The good news is that Amadeus looks better than it ever has in this BD's VC-1 2.40:1 transfer. The bad news is there's some indication here of DNR, with that "waxy buildup" (at least it's not yellow) on skin surfaces especially. It's not the worst I've ever seen, but it lends a certain air of artificiality to the visual presentation at times. I also noticed some occasional haloing due to edge enhancement. If you can get past these anomalies, you have a solid visual presentation with excellent color and much sharper detail than on any previous DVD release. Contrast and black levels are generally good and consistent, and detail is quite impressive throughout.

Acaba de salir la review en highdefdigest con la que estoy basante de acuerdo. Es verdad que se nota cierto procesado en la imagen pero para nada es la salvajada que hemos visto en otras ediciones de New Line o Paramount...

Extracto del análisis:
"Lo que más sorprende del formato en alta definición es que no hay prácticamente nada de grano, pese a que se muestra un muy alto nivel de detalle y los bordes aparecen nítidos y claros, sin realce de contornos. Buena culpa de esto se obtiene de la aplicación de una leve reducción de ruido (DNR) con un excelente resultado, algo que resulta apreciable en la comparativa con el DVD."
Overzealous post-processing. Not only has digital noise reduction (DNR) been applied to the transfer, but edge enhancement has been peppered in to compensate for its ill-effects. While the artificial sharpening does firm up object edges (at the cost of injecting distracting halos into the proceedings), it fails to conceal the waxy close-ups, hazy textures, and intermittent motion smearing caused by the noise reduction. With some old fashioned love and affection, Amadeus could have remained faithful to its source and reaped the benefits of a high-def upgrade.
