I'm under the impression that most, if not all film, is higher definition than bluray, dvd, vhs etc. When they transfer film to a massively distributable format they are always losing some quality from the original. it's just if the original is not the best quality, i wouldn't expect the HD transfer to magically fix it. With a subpar or old video source, they can only preserve its look as good as the original is, but it would still be in modern day HD resolutions etc.
Bluray is just the current best way of storing film at good quality on a media that is practical and cheap enough to mass produce.
