I rather have a crunchy LD video (1995) than how neither Cameron nor Lowry does it for this film. So I'm good
avatar
I see... so sorry for pestering, but what makes LD better than 2006? Which seemingly did not get that treatment, and still has better quality than a LD could
avatar
That's fine, but expected for a "Cameronvism" release. The MGM "Hi-Def" source (used in the 2001 DVD & 2006 BD releases) kinda sucks, despite the master different from the 1995 LD release which are the intended way to watch it for the picture quality alone. It did get the closest color grading, but the loss of detail kills it for the MGM "Hi-Def" master

@Bilbofett Roger and Quentin are pretty chatty on their Video Archives podcast
avatar
yes I know, this was a live 3.5+ hour Q&A
avatar
Thansk for the heads up, Bilbofett. Roger flew under the radar for so many years. He used to be easily accessible online from the late 90s to the late 00s or thereabouts. Loved to chat with fans on his own forum.

Anyone seen The Terminator 4K Blu-ray yet? If yes, any thoughts on the quality?

seems as if schnittberichte.com (english movie-censorship.com) had to fill in with some more comparison shots, just to make the censored frames not feeling so lonely in Showdown in Little Tokyo https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=581572
avatar
Yeah it's completely AI nuked. Someone posted pix on social media, where the posters in the store at the beginning, ads for brands, are redrawn and now the brand names are mispelled.
avatar
And of course, the revisionist (like T2 and Titanic (1997) digitally altered CGIs): https://fanrestore.com/thread-4865-post-...l#pid91964
avatar
These deserved to be rescanned without Cameron, Lowry nor Park Road Post involvements. Especially with the latter destroyed Jackson's Middle-earth saga with DNR usage (both Theatrical and Extended Cuts)
avatar
meanwhile, Fincher continues to "tweak" Se7en... https://www.fangoria.com/david-finchers-se7en-4k/
avatar
avatar
That trailer of "Seven" looks about the same colorwise as the widely released Blu-ray. I wonder if it was edited using it or if the new master will look about the same...
avatar
I feel like the Se7en UHD will be a double whammy for many people after the Cameron UHDs. They may never recover
avatar
As long it not AI upscale nor DNR mess like the Cameron 4K "restorations", this can be regradable. But who knows by the actual release day
