OK, OK, this is considered one of the worst movies ever made... I should admit I saw it few years ago, and, even if - of course - it is not a masterpiece or a milestone, I don't think it's one of the worst... I saw many, many ugly movies, and, among them, this is actually one that, even with its (many) flaws, has some good points... which ones? You have to suffer and watch it all to discover them!

Battlefield Earth is available on 2.35:1 on DVD, and 1.78:1 on BD; the original theatrical aspect ratio is 2.35:1 - the BD has more details on top and bottom, but less on the sides; the best thing to do will be to use the Axis-Aligned Polygon Aspect Ratio (AAP A/R for short) techinque, but it should be adjusted shot by shot, and nobody - including me - will waste his time to do this kind of job for this movie!

Another option is to use the 720p web download as source - that has the right 2.35:1 a/r - upscale it to 1080p, clean a bit the image from some dirt and dropouts, add back the eventual scenes that *should* be not included there, but still present in the Special Edition DVD and BD - for that few scene, I could actually use the AAP A/R, then crop the image to 2.35:1, so the central part of the image will benefit from the increased resolution of the BD, mantaining the right a/r thanks to the sides taken from the DVD.

What do you think?

P.S. Do you want to see a movie worst than this? Give 2047 - Sights of Death a try!

Another zombie movie, this time from France, about soccer play and players, and public, who turn into zombies!

A bit of comedy here and there, and few spectacular shots, puts this movie above the average of the cheap US indie production - still not on par with big flicks, but better than many other, and it has some funny moments...

Adviced for any zombie movie fan completist!

Hello All.

I saw spoRvs banner on Original Trilogy and headed over here, look forward to exploring the forum.

Cheers

When sporv told me about this place I could not get here fast enough !

I hope we can build it into something great for new fans and veterans alike.

So here it is, the first completed fan restoration on fanres.com. May this release be the first of many!


kk650 presents: Regraded Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut


Technical Specs:

Name: Regraded Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut

Size: 34.5 GB

Video: 1920x1080 H264 23.976

Audio Track: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1

Subtitle Track 1: English Subtitles

Subtitle Track 2: Spanish Subtitles


nirbateman from originaltrilogy.com requested that I check out the new Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut blu-ray and when it arrived a few days ago, I could see that he was right about a strong blanket yellow tint having been applied to the whole film.

With this release I have gone ahead and removed the strong blanket yellow tint across the whole film, bringing all the other colours in the film back to life, making the film lot more natural looking and pleasant to watch.

This version of Once Upon a Time in America has also had the colour saturation boosted to more closely match the stronger colours of the first Once Upon a Time in America US Blu-ray and previous DVD releases. This more colourful version is now my preferred version of this release.

I hope you like what i've done here. Please post back here with feedback of what you think of this release after you check it out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone... I am seeing some familiar names from OT, right on

Remember you mentioning this forum "project" a while back Andrea, happy to see that you finally got if off the ground. Look forward to seeing what goes on here and contributing where I can (or, at least, learning what I can) as what some of you manage to do is just amazing. Kudos for picking up where the studios dropped the ball;O)

Peace

Lately I got often this error... and you, guys?!?

This project has been replaced with this one:

https://fanrestore.com/thread-2659-post-...l#pid53257 




Project Info:

Originally worked on for years, canceled, started up again and then cancelled once again; I'm releasing the theatrical cut regrades to the THX LD that I did years ago. See here:

https://fanrestore.com/thread-2659-post-...l#pid53257 

This is an attempt to re-create the 1987 CBS TV cut of Aliens and color correct it to look like the color timing of the THX laserdisc. The TV cut is a mid ground between the Special Edition (SE) and Theatrical Cut (TC) and lacks several of the smaller scenes of the SE cut while retaining some of the emotional and action moments (see post #37 for a full rundown). [s]Since this cut originally appeared on TV, three small shots of language were cut. This project honors those cut in order to sync the TV soundtrack, which I suspect has re-dubbed lines from Bill Paxton. This project removes many of the "fixes " Cameron put into the movie for the BD release (except the switched guns at the end, that has always been fixed in the TV cut). This project will include the TV and theatrical cut regraded to the THX laserdisc with a reduction in saturation and the reds applies those values to the overly green BD with some tweaks to smooth out shots.[/s]


Old Comparison Pics

BD/BD regraded to the 1995 THX LD

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. TV Cut (regraded to the US THX LD v1.8)

Video:
2010 Blu-Ray (SE and TCT) video color regraded to the 1995 THX laserdisc with a reduction in red to match 35mm frames and cut into the TV edit

Audio:
1. PCM 2.0 (from the SE LD)
[s]2. PCM 2.0 (from the original TV Broadcast which uses Bill Paxton's re-dubbed lines.) This is up in the air since I have to see if the track can be salvaged but I would like to preserve it since it appears Bill Paxton re-dubbed his lines.
