It looks incredible on my projection system. I've had Kong on every one of its home video releases going all the way back to Criterion number 2, and it's never looked so good. On the screen it looks like film. I hate grain smoothing on old movies. The Universal horrors were ruined by it. No...
I just looked at it too, and it looks and sounds wonderful. I saw stop motion birds in the backgrounds of scenes I've never seen before. The grain had some processing going on though. Video freezes on the end titles are quite noticeable too. Nothing serious at all though. Great job.
