What do you think are the chances of the theatrical cut being included?

If it's based on a true 4K scan, then there was no point in using the same Artificial unIntelligence upscaling used for Avatar, which was 2K at source. Not that there was point for that either

100%. Just like with Aliens.

People called me a liar when I reported from the September screening that this was DNRd to hell. Well, well, well...

And...what? We noticed grain and the ProRes version looks good for 1080.

Also....

"Update: An earlier version of this story reported that Wednesday’s presentation of “The Abyss” at Beyond Fest was the 4K version, but a social media post from the festival that confirmed this detail has since been taken down. Representatives for the festival subsequently confirmed to Variety that the DCP shown was only in 2K resolution. We apologize for the error."

Well, well, well

We didn't say you were lying, just that most people who went there thought it looked good or didn't notice the DNR.

The Prores version gives me hope. Also YT compression is shit and you can't trust what you see in terms of quality.

Thanks for the upload of the trailer!

kristoffer · 11-15-2023, 08:37 AM

But will Cameron fix this?!

Daz_85 · 11-15-2023, 08:52 AM

ProRes trailer looks good, thanks for the upload.

Looks like the grain was dialed about as far back as you can go without becoming in-your-face waxy. Proof is in the pudding though!

Ha! That's crazy! That ending has now lost all suspense!

While the framing on the theatrical shots basically match the framing on the previous HD master, the special edition shots have a good bit of reframing:

2023 baby!

ProRes trailer looks better than expected. But I guess FX shots will be the most problematic, kinda like it was with Jurassic Park or Fellowship Of The Ring.

I already reported the thread to get the mods' attention, and put the announcement in the report.

Not loving the artwork on these Cameron releases. Also kinda bummed no steel books, but with Best Buy out by then, maybe that's why. Still, if the picture isn't DNR'd to death I am more excited for these than I have been for any release in some time. Can't believe he skipped blu-ray and is coming it at "the end" of physical media. Been waiting so long for these...

Do you think they used AI technology to digitally recreate the missing frame during the scene extensions?

I was wondering how they were going to fix that. If they have the frame, there should be a way to use it. Was it destroyed?
