Pitch Black
Anyone use this as a demo disk to illustrate the power of CRTs in reproducing a black image?

This movie is a great candidate for not getting carried away with Gamma boost ! It's called pitch black not pitch Grey.

This is the last movie in the world I would adjust gamma on .. UNLESS you are scared of the DARK Razz

C'mon, proper gamma doens't make things grey. It just brings out the shadow detail.

I've watched it with and without.
I saw things in the movie that I never noticed without the gamma.

The way you worded "Gamma BOOST" not " gamma correction" I though it sounded like this movie needed extra boosting!
