Hey guys.
It seems there's a time limit to post messages, so I'll try to be brief.


So, double feature!
As the title says, this is an upgraded/polished 2.0 release of The Matrix. I used a nice collection of 35mm film cells as reference for grading. 
When I did the 1080p degreened version (the first version) I noticed that it matched most of the cells just by removing that awful green blanket, which gave me confidence to finish what started just as a fun project. There were some other shots here and there that required further tweaking, and here the 35mm scan that's been floating around for some time came in handy. It looks horrible, but can help for this little things, like "Neo in boss' office". The 35mm suggests it should look cooler than the old bluray, more like the 4K or the first DVD.  

What I did for v2.0 is polishing the already quite nice first degreened version (I found some more 35mm cells!). Then, I used this degreened version as reference for the 4K release, which is an obvious upgrade from the first grading (and no, I don't have it anymore). There can be some slight differences (brightness, contrast, saturation... nothing too drastic).

The degreened 1080p it's already nice. The 4K regrade?, get this 2.0 version without hesitating. 

Both the 1080p and 4K include the Cinema DTS track!

Hey guys.

Not much to say about this one. I don't think there are many fans of this film, one of those guilty pleasure kind of films for me, perhaps for some of you too.
Here it is in all it's glory, fully uncut and uncensored. The way it should be. 

For the missing/censored shots I used the euro DVD, AI upscaled/enhanced, then regraded to match the colors of the bluray, and regrained for consistency.
That's pretty much all about it.
I corrected the contrast, and colors a little bit.

Hello everyone,

Big Michael Mann fan.

I'm signing up because I heard great things from a friend who loves the 'regraded' versions.

To the pleasure, dear movie buffs. 



Maxime

Specifically the ones mentioned here:
https://blah-ray.blogspot.com/2021/07/no...-1959.html (1984 MGM Hi-Fi VHS)
https://blah-ray.blogspot.com/2022/05/th...-1956.html (1990 Warner Hi-Fi VHS)
https://blah-ray.blogspot.com/2022/05/th...-1962.html (1980s Paramount Hi-Fi VHS)

Does anyone have these? I can buy them and get them capped if needed, but I wanted to know if there was already a cap available somewhere before doing so.

Does anyone have a DTS laserdisc capture of Die Hard 3 ?

Hello everyone,

I came across this forum while searching for the extended version of Johnny Mnemonic. I’m excited to join the community and learn more about fan movie restorations.

I’m a French fan of fantasy and science fiction, especially passionate about all those “lost” edits and films that have disappeared because of modern streaming platforms. Glad to join the Fanrestore community!  

Salut aux Français !

Hello.

Just found this forum. Jackie Chan fan. Any help finding his films and any other martial art movies, greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a problem, having made the ac3 capture of the film, it's been 3 weeks that I try to synchronize it with the uhd video, but nothing to do. 

I mainly work with the VideoPad software which allows to modify the speed of the video, length, fps. VideoPad does not support ac3, I have to launch it in mkvtoolnix. I have already made test synchronization with other cinema dts films it went very well, but with the laserdisc it is a disaster. Do you have any solutions? Thank you.
