A few weeks ago, I watched Warren Beatty's REDS for the first time. Very good film, but what astounded me was the picture quality for a regular DVD. The film came out in 1981 & did win Best Cinematography, but the restoration work was so amazing, the film looked like it had just been released. On my HDTV with an upgrading player, it looked as good as any Blu-ray disc could be. That's just putting the necessary work into restoring something.

In the end projection from a first print off a 35 mm film apparantly beats any HD showing.

You always get to see a copy in a theatre. HD allows us to get close to the first print experience.

Eh, not all that impressed. The face-detail of the characters improves, but everything looks really washed out and like roughrider said, less cinematic. I don't want my Star Wars looking like the CNN anchors do on my HDTV.

With all the stadium seating & nice leg room, the picture on the bigger screens looks a little grainier; even blurry in the corners sometimes. This is the 35mm film frame being blown up even more. Go to an older, smaller theatre, and the frame on screen looks a bit sharper(if the projector is using enough light.)
