WTF is "DVD grain" ? I understand "film grain" but DVD grain?
Film grain, yeah.

Barely upscaled DVD?
Yup. Compared to the other works, it is. A barely better DvD, if this is worded better.

Yes, there is a heavy layer of grain in the image, but it is film grain...
Which is in a considerable (and surely noticeable) quantity, again compared to Alien and Alien3 (not counting Aliens because there was this talk about how it is supposed to be grainy, or something along these lines)

(Even if Jeunet himself wants to smooth it all away.)
If they had followed what the director wanted, they'd have done a Blu-Ray that reflects the vision of the Director in regards of the film, which is
precisely what they have done with
Aliens. Why didn't they call out Jeunet to give at least a little direction, exactly?

Could they have done better? Absolutely.
That's the point.

It's clear they put less time, money and effort into A3 and AR than they did the first two films,
Thing is, I have yet to see a valid reason. Why did they put less effort? A3 and A:R deserve as much respect as any other Fox Film released on Blu-Ray. Other Fox 90s Fox films look fairly better - as an example I could give you Independence Day (which is one of the best Blu-Rays out there). My grip is they could have done better and just didn't care, and hadn't a really valid reason, as those two films deserve as much respect as any other film of theirs.
