I see Robert Crawford's lovely reaction to my post. Maybe it's because my concerns were phrased in a way losing things in translation, so I'll try to make it clearer : I am not sure what's good it does for good pre-heavy-artificial-processing work to be shelved away from the public, only for...

I don't know : we the public can't see the OCN, can't see what's be done upstream and that might have been perfectly fine. All we have access to is what Park Road has output, of which the result is so good that the hypothesis it was a prototype used for gaining experience feels plausible. So...

That's indeed the story that made the runs at some point : True Lies was the first of the 4 movies to be remastered by Park Road, and basically served as a guinea pig. Which... is a bit of a preservation nightmarish idea, IMO because, did nobody thought once the fourth one was done "hey...

That's my main point : an obvious explanation about True Lies' remaster looking like it looks might simply be that the Park Road process is has been turned up to 11 on this one, while it hasn't been so on Abyss and Aliens, for no other reason than a purely digital remastering decision. And maybe...

All of this is, still and however, what some are suggesting to try and explain the results. That's what I'm trying to convey here : it can't all be right at the same time. It cannot both be exactly like what Cameron wanted AND being something he barely looked at (if at all), for instance. Same...

What I'm surprised by, especially with True Lies, is that these remasters supposedly took that long to be released because Cameron couldn't find the time to oversee them, or at least ot have a proper look and green light them, and how he's supposedly such a perfectionist. And yet, we're now...

I think people can obviously do what they want, and prefer what they prefer, especially in cases where there aren't many alternatives. But we need to be honest about what has been done and how this isn't normal (as in : those results aren't part of the norm of remasters and restorations, and are...

As it's already been discussed in the past on this board : * if people can simply "make up their own minds" with a release, why bothering providing any feedback about it ? * the video provides factual data analyzing the result way beyond what people would do, and what even several pro reviewers...

It seems fitting considering what has been done on those movies :D , but as I already explained elsewhere : the guy is French, doesn't like how he sounds in English, and thus reluctantly chose to rely on an AI voice instead.

Jay's video for Abyss (in French, but the AI-voiced English version is available on his YT channel) :

Not sure if facial hair or leper.

And The Abyss won Best visual effects and was nominated for Best Cinematography... but which cinematography exactly ?

Well, of course there are worst things in the world nowaways and possibly in one's life, but again, should it prevent debatable presentations to be debated ? Not every discussion, even if long and passionate, means people are "angry" about it. I have 17 releases to review at the moment, they...

I'm still as bothered as every time before you resorted to such a defeatist approach. So what, every problematic release should be approached positively anyway because pointing out its issues isn't going to change anything anyway ? What good does it do to point out the latest To Catch A Thief's...

It might be an English conjugation lost on me, but as I read it, it doesn't fit a mission statement saying "the way the original creator(s) of that particular film intended". It'd fit if it was saying "the way the original creator(s) of that particular film intend(s) at any given moment.", thus...
