I watched the 5th Element on Comcast HD VOD (it was one of the free ones). It looked much better than the DVD when the camera was sitting still. Any action shot filled the screen with jaggy squares for a few seconds, and all clarity was lost. What I did appreciate, was that they cropped the movie to fill the wide screen. When I ran the DVD to compare, the aspect ratio wasn't so accommodating.
