Notes:

• these version are NOT simply the color ones, desaturated (read: you can't obtain them just putting the color setting of your display to zero); they have different contrast and brightness, and regraded scene by scene
  
• using the luma of the black & white version along with the chroma of the color version, a different, color version could be obtained
  

Hi, there are many differences it's almost like a different movie. There is an extended open matte version and a cropped theatrical version.

Is there an official open matte extended version? If not, a fan should make a hybrid open matte extended version.

Ive started this thread based on a conversation that has began in the 'New Back to The Future transfer' thread
Here https://fanrestore.com/thread-1477-page-3.html

i was unsure of a thread title and although it began as a discussion on the restoration of 'Jaws' it also covered what films we're tempting us to make the UHD leap and upgrade our equipment.

There is a thread already devoted to 4K UHD and it has covered some of what we started talking about.
Here
But I thought it would be o.k to start this new one to carry on our conversation.

Hello!

I just joined the forum because I am interested in classics from before my time that have aged well but sadly been treated unfairly by upscales and HD re-releases.

I really enjoy these projects that are keeping the original colours and increased fidelity

Are you curious to see the differen color grading, or aspect raio, of a movie, but don't want to watch it all? Well, just take a look at "a whole film in an image" GIFs and screenshot comparisons!

**(warning: big images, it could take some time to load'em all!)**

Alien (1979) [Fundamental Collection #001] - colors, 85% of movie with bigger frame - 2017-04-18

Inspired by idea of this OT thread, and from the 70mm film frame found there, and because I'm tinkering a lot with color grading lately, I've decide to give it a go...





The colormatched version found in the middle is produced, according to the original poster, using the LUT obtained by Dr. Dre's tool; the matched frame is almost perfect, while this result is a quite a bit far from it... maybe it's due to an old version? dunno... my "inspired" version is closer.

Why "inspired by 70mm"? Because at first I tried to get an image as close as possible to the film frame; but, when I reached an almost perfect result, even if it worked well for the same scene, it worked not so well in many other ones - in particular, clipped whites problem. So, I decided for a compromise, and this time it works very well with the whole movie - still got to watch it all, though, so for the moment the opinion is based on still frames - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/124259 - and few short clips... let's wait for the whole movie to be regraded and I'll tell you more.

I've briefly compared the HDTV version - which is all 2.40:1 - and, like PDB wrote in another thread, it seems that the IMAX shots are just cropped, more or less perfectly at center... so, I'd add a YAO hack to get a letterbox version.

I know it's not a classic but is there any interest in a HD Theatrical cut? It seems the only official HD release has been the Director's cut (even on DVHS)

I've got a 1080i HDTV cap of the theatrical cut, it shouldn't be too much work to return the TC scenes into the official Blu, synced to the DVD's DTS/AC3 (or possibly the cinema DTS).
