A few words about... National Treasure - Page 2

Haven't we seen Digital Intermediate films that have looked terrific on DVD, though? THE RETURN OF THE KING was a 2K DI, yet the DVD (at least the "Extended Edition" DVD) looks superb- on the other hand, THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING looks far softer and far "more filtered", and it's the only film in the trilogy that wasn't a direct DI conversion to home video as far as I know (only 70% of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING went through a DI process, the rest was direct production negative- the 70% that did go through a DI was recorded out to film in the Super-35 format and then optically printed to anamorphic for projection, and a S-35 IP was then transfered to HD video for the DVD release). Also, the overseas DVDs of KILL BILL Vol. 1 look far better than the domestic DVD, and yet they would've all come from the same DI source, no?

I just watched this movie last night. Something about it intrigued me from the start, and I decided not to wait anymore, and ordered it over Time Warner Cable (iControl). OK, so shoot me, they didn't have either HD or OAR available, and I watched a Foolscreen presentation.

Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed it. My love of history and archaeology was rewarded enough for me to recommend this movie, and hope there will be some nice SE version coming out later (picture quality).

Hmpff... Those fellows stole my legacy!

(look at who first owned the land where Trinity sits today...)
