In my experience most people would be perfectly fine with a Blu-ray projected with a 2k projector.

I will say that going to a 70mm festival is different as one is watching 70mm prints which for those prints that are being shown may be a very unique and rare experience while a DCP is something that I will be able to catch later at my convenience. So for older movies film is unique while...

In the last 15 years there were only very few prints made apart from Fox, with most movies held by Warner, Universal and MGM not being available as new 70mm prints. Sony did pretty well, too with 2 out of 3 movies shot in 65mm being available but recently LoA has only been reprinted as a...

Very true but at least if we get it then it will look better than the other three, hopefully soon.

You are correct about Mutiny being better than these two, but that is not really much of an achievement if you look at the competition and at how good Ben-Hur looks or IAMMMMW..

Unfortunately the Blu-ray is very soft and does not do justice to how magnificent Mutiny on the Bounty must have looked back then in unfaded 70mm prints.

Ahhh, Mutiny on the Bounty, the memories... Saw it twice projected in UP70 with the proper 1.25 attachment but both times with little to no color, hopefully Warner will see the light and give it to us in at least a good Blu-ray version. That super curvulon lens is beautiful. I once had one but...

Agreed, it looks pretty good even though it is mostly an indoor shoot. If only I liked the movie more. I love Ultra Panavision as a format but the over the top violence in the last third of the movie does not work for me at all and would be more fitting for some kind of low budget grindhouse...

Glad to hear you liked it that much and you can be happy that the geometry is a lot better now than it used to be. Back then a substantial part of the frame got cut off in the screen center as it was at a much bigger distance to the projector lens than the sides and today it is possible to...

Compared to analog it really does not take much effort to get digital projection right but you can always count on somebody being up to the task of messing that up, too.

All one has to have is a certain appreciation of film and how it looks and then one can compare that to a digital version. If done reasonably well I would have to give the edge to a digital presentation on the right equipment over most analog presentations. Doing analog right is that much...

Apparently that 70mm print of Grand Prix has been screened at some point with a separate soundtrack running alongside the film but as this is a digital only screening it obviously was not something that was on the table. I can tell you that the 70mm print that I saw of HTWWW looked quite...

Thanks, maybe someone who knows the Blu-rays will attend, I would really like to know if the DCP of BotB looks different than the Blu-ray version as the Blu-ray has a peculiar combination of noise filtering and sharpening. The Blu-ray of Khartoum would have looked better but then BotB is...

That is a great picture! I am surprised that Battle of The Bulge is shown, has some work been done on it recently? The Blu-ray does not really hold up very well so I hope the DCP will look better.. Grand Prix looks better than BotB but it still looks weaker than both IAMMMMW and HTWWW.
