Just out of curiosity, does this mean that the entire film was shot on Kodak's 50T film stock? If so they must have used a lot of light!

The AC article was pretty vague, so I guess either one is possible. From the way it was written, the 4K film-out seemed more like an afterthought. But since Ridley Scott has supported 4K in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if he used it here. Either way it looks very sharp.

One thing worth mentioning is that, as far as I'm aware, Robin Hood did not go through a 4K DI. According to American Cinematographer the film was color graded on 2K proxies and went through a 4K film-out. I don't know what resolution it was scanned in, but I'm guessing it was a 4K-2K-4K...

It would be ridiculous for Miramax to blame the appearance of the previous BD on the original film elements. We all remember seeing Gangs in theaters and it looked fantastic. The only way Miramax could be justified in their claims is if they used a worn-out theatrical print, rather than the...

Yeah, the IMAX/Blu-ray version looks very different from what was shown in theaters. IMAX tends to overdo it a bit with their DMR work.

Your mistake is that you're taking it for granted that people walk into the theater with an open mind, and need to condition themselves to see things differently. Most of our ideology, expectations, and outlooks come from the culture we live in and the stories we're used to seeing. It's the same...

I agree that the use of digital cameras took the film out of its time and place, but I'm not convinced this is necessarily a bad thing. I think that a lot of people misunderstand what Michael Mann was trying to do here; Public Enemies isn't a period piece so much as it's an anti-period piece. A...

The restoration and picture quality for Strangelove is fantastic. I think the only person who had the audacity to criticize this amazing release is the ever-annoying Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere. I wish someone would have a talk with this guy and explain that grain is not the enemy. The...

I also feel that 3D is generally unnecessary. Some 3D looks pretty good, but a lot of it looks unconvincing (2.5D?). My main problem with it beyond the inflated ticket price is the glasses; they cut half the light from the screen and give the colors a slightly different tinge. When technology...

I'm not sure if the story behind this Blu-ray is that dramatic (though I guess it could be). What I heard is that Warner scanned the original elements at 8K and carried out the digital restoration work in 4K; basically what they did for Wizard of Oz. Except here it should probably make more of a...

I'm glad this looks good in Blu-ray. Warner has had a few misses in the past, but it's good to hear this isn't one of them.
