While it is definitely the best it has looked on home video, there is quite a bit of "grain management" going on in some places. It's not consistent, but it's there in varying levels, and that is a bit disappointing. Especially since many scenes look fantastic. Add that to the soft photography...

It's not a different recording or take of the song, but it is a slightly different mix, based on the 6 track Dolby Mix. Aside from slightly louder background vocals it's very, very similar to the original 35mm mix but with better separation and fidelity. It sounds great on a good sound system...

It's from the little known, ill-advised Grease Special Edition. Not only did they badly remix the sound, they had Danny wear CGI Braveheart style warpaint. They also changed the hall monitors' guns to walkie talkies. It looks like a digital color correction error. They were coloring the panel...

The iPhone lacks dynamic range and color depth, which is more important than 4K resolution in making a cinematic image. The trailer demonstrates that along with the limitations of the built in lens. It's interesting and could work with a good story, but I don't see the iPhone replacing 35mm any...

I'm envious, I'd love to see that print. It's kind of a sad thing that most new 35mm prints of classic films these days are made based on a digital color grade, not the original photochemical timing. I examined a 35mm print of Raiders of the Lost Ark recently that was made from the (IMO awful)...

Comparison of the new audio restoration to the 1998 remix. Audio quality is much better when watched directly on youtube:

I rented the iTunes version today and I can gladly confirm the sound is definitely NOT based on the 1998 remix. It's a remix, but using the original 70mm 6 track dialogue/music/sound effects stems I'm guessing. No new foley or sound effects have been added, it's all the original tracks, flaws...

My concern is that is that the audio is billed as "enhanced from a six-track mix created for an original 70mm release" which doesn't quite sound like it's the original sound mix. The sound was badly remixed in 1998 with dozens of mistakes and changes. So the question isn't if this new mix sounds...
