Criterion is warmer and more lifelike than BFI. See DVDBeaver review for more capsBFI is brighter, but that's only because of a gamma bug, a common encoding issue that's easily corrected. After you do that, brightness is the same, though reds are different. Criterion has better encoding and doesn't have the bug so that's preferable.
