I was treated 2 years ago to a 70mm theatrical showing of Aliens and I can confirm the colour was closer to the Blu Ray. Not quite as green but definitely not Blu in the theatre. It was a local independent who got their hands on the print as part of a film festival. Amazing showing and the sound was surpringly good too. I think this project is excellent and after just meeting Michael Biehn last week I'm all the more ready to watch!

Thanks for the links marin88. I really wish I could collect those Deranns but they are so rare now.
Anyway that seems to be more proof that the BD is still closest to a film print. Far from perfect but closer then the DVDs and LDs

Going to see Aliens in the cinema on Saturday. I'll keep a keen eye out for those hues!
Lets see if its green, blue, or magenta.

It's being shown at our IMAX as part of a film festival. Our IMAX is a story high screen. I'm sitting here waiting for it to start and genuinely don't know how they are going to present it??? I'll be sure to let you know. I may even try and sneak a shot of the screen. Can't miss it really
