Part of the Project CRT, for more background read here:

To quickly recap, many late 90's/early 2000s HD, DVD and even LD masters have a significant red/magenta push on modern flat panels. It is assumed that this is caused by them being mastered on older CRT monitors which had a green and blue push. This project attempts to fix many of those old masters by making them look how the color technician would see them on a CRT master monitor. Not necessarily more theatrically accurate but hopefully closer to what the colorist wanted and hopefully more pleasing to the eye.
So this is the BD copy of the TC of Alien 3 corrected to look how it does on my Sony BVM monitor. I did a little bit of cleanup since its an old master at this point with a little bit of sharpening and grain. I also added the rocking PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround from the LD with the 5.1 from the original BD.
