Format:Blu-ray
This Blu Ray sports a very outdated HD transfer that is poor for today's standards. Digital sharpening and grain reduction artifacts are all over the place. Film look is not available here. You might like it if you watch on smaller TVs from a safe distance (where you don't see 1080p detail in the first place). Don't try to project it on a screen or go to close on a big monitor. It miserably falls apart.

The transfer in this edition is a cryout shame. So much DNR that faces look waxy, details are lost, and even make small borders "halo-double". I watched it in a 52" screen, so maybe in smaller screens this is not so noticeable; in large ones, it is unbearable. In a movie where landscape and photography are main characters as well, this is just outrageous. Yes, it is still the best transfer to date, but worthless as a blu-ray. Far much worse than the first, poor transfer of "Gladiator". Let's hope they will eventually remaster "Out of Africa" properly, because this wonderful movie deserves it; as far as I am concerned, I possess the blu-ray, but am still unable to watch this movie in high definition.

Format:Blu-ray
If you're considering buying this film in Blu-ray then it's probably because you appreciated the excellent cinematography when you first saw it. At least that's the reason I went fot it. Amazingly my wife had never seen the movie but loved John Barry's music for it, which is on my iPod. I therefore thought I'd buy her the Blu-ray version so she would see the African vistas in the best possible quality. However, I was disappointed that the images were grainy. It's as if the movie hasn't been digitally remastered and as it wasn't filmed in HD the Blu-ray format doesn't seem to do anything. It's probably just as good to buy a normal DVD and let you're Blu-ray player upscale it.
