Attack Of The Clones 35mm theatrical

[2001CluelessDianogas]

Interestingly, despite AOTC having been apparently shot mostly on cameras that only had REC709 color gamut, it seems that many SFX expanded to wide gamut colors, at least for cyan/aqua/turquoise type colors and they seem to have also maybe gone in post and made the Pantoran(?) on the left of the first set of images look way more intense than sRGB/REC709 standard gamut colors can show.

Also interesting and weird, is that the UHD release, although it should be able to show wide gamut colors easily, does not seem to show these wide gamut cyan/aqua/turquoise colors much, if at all, and it almost seems like they locked the post theatrical release workflow for AOTC (and think maybe all three prequels) into standard gamut REC709 at some early point and are now stuck with it?? Either that or maybe the transfer to print film simply way hyped up some of the colors in that part of the spectrum and that is not how it was intended to look even if it was how most people saw AOTC most or all of the time. But it sort of seems almost like they clipped the colors at some point and got stuck with that unless they go back from scratch and rebuild all the post theatrical changes made to the prequels?
 
Here are some demos that show the differences between how AOTC looks when you have wide gamut color palette available vs. when it is restricted to sRGB/REC709 color palette (of course you need to use fully color-managed browser/viewer and have a wide gamut display set to wide gamut display mode with proper display profile installed in order to see the differences, and in some cases, to even see the WG labelled images properly at all). For each pair SG is first and WG is second (should be obvious on a properly set up wide gamut display):

Here are how the DVD, BD a HDTV versions looked (upscaled to 4k) for a frame similar to the first one posted above (the UHD looks pretty similar to cross between the DVD and BD and does not make that blue girl on the left intensely blue the way the 35mm does):

aside from the REC709 clipping the intense blues the home releases also seem to add varying amounts of magenta push in that scene and some others and some other tints in some other scenes
