Snowpiercer (Anchor Bay BD vs. Future Film BD)

[Markus_Lang]

This comparison between the American and Scandinavian Blu-ray of Snowpiercer was originally created for DVDPlaza.fi, but I’ll post the images here as well. It is interesting to note how much darker the Scandinavian release is, although the transfer bit-rate is higher.

When concerning the image quality and bonus materials, the Americal release is a clear winner.
