It’s been quite some time so I couldn’t say for sure. But it’s definitely not as red as what we’ve seen nor as green/blue as this “new” master.
Also, I wasn’t as focused on the image because the SR mag was SO GOOD.

I've heard 'normal' 70mm 6-track mag and that was pretty incredible, I imagine 70mm SR is transcendental Thanks given by: borisanddoris

Yep, there's no home-video equivalent of the first explosion when Harry shows his invitation. The 70mm Cinemas were earth-shaking.

I did once hear a super high end Martin Logan system in the mid 90s playing back that invitation scene off the AC3 laserdisc. It sounded incredible. I’ve never been able to duplicate it at home with my modest system. But it gives me hope.

High quality amplification is a beautiful thing, there is really nothing else like it. That and finding the 'sweet spot' for bass.
I can still remember how utterly insane the low end was on T2 70mm, depths of hell stuff. Having said that the laserdisc does come close

The new Transfer for True Lies on Disney+ and Hulu is Beautiful!!!! Hopefully an open matte version of the remaster will surface.

maksnew was nice enough to send me the new version of TL.
In going through I came away liking the new colors but noticed it has a LOT of problems. From what I'm being told it is probably not from Disney+ but comes from Hulu. That does make a difference as it contributes to making a file that is less the idea. Here are the problems I spotted: 1. The new master or at least this file has a ton of DNR erasing not only grain but details. I'm hopefully that is just this file being DNR'd to make streaming easier and future files will be better. 2. Besides the DNR, the picture is strangely "fuzzy". Kind of like a blur filter added to the transfer. Can't figure that one out. 3. The black levels are way off for the entire file. Sometimes all three channels, sometimes just the blue and green. between the DNR, fuzziness, and elevated black levels, it makes watching the film look like watching it through a cataract. 4. The picture is often blown-out in the brightest parts. 5. The bit-rate is super low. The lack of bits causes a lot of compression artifacts. So this is a lot worse then the existing (read: old master) Web-DL(s) and I will still be using those for future projects. They just look better regardless of the colors. More details, more grain, etc. Having said that, I still like to fix this transfer if I can. So I set about seeing what I could do. I used a host of filters and scalers to dig out details from the transfer. I was largely able to get rid of fuzziness of the picture. I was also able to get some grain back but it still had to supplemented. I also adjusted the black level down and added contrast to make the movie more "film-like" while trying to keep the original colors with some slight tweaking. I lowered the highlights to make the picture feel less blown-out. So this is looking somewhat better then it did before but not perfect. The one thing I can't do is un-DNR the picture. Details lost are details lost and no tool can get those original details back. With that in mind, I'm hoping to release this as a project this upcoming week as the video is done and waiting to be rendered. Although I have a few audio options, I'm only going to include the original Eac3 and maybe the C-DTS. Here are some before and after pics Orig/Processed ![[Image: SvWJWUY.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/SvWJWUY.jpg) ![[Image: s7ztRAQ.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/s7ztRAQ.jpg) So until a better file appears this should be the best way to view the "new" TL master. Big thanks to X5 also for lots of info.

Abyss 1989 should appear on Hulu today, maybe it will be the same transfer that has been available for a long time, but suddenly it will be something new.
