Unforgiven (1992) (Remastered)

[StingingVelvet]

Watched this already but neat to see the caps. Definitely a huge upgrade, looks much more natural. The UHD looks even more detailed, one of the nicer detail upgrades I've seen. Colors are actually more restrained on the UHD, in a nice way.

I agree with Robert Harris that probably the original negative can't resolve true 4K but the upgrade is huge because the first Blu-ray is very old (2006) and it's possible used the same master as the 2002 DVD, probably a 1080p telecine.

35mm gets pure detail in the 2k-3k range, according to most, but scanning at 4k (or higher) results in a more finely resolved look. There's definitely more detail on the UHD, so the scan was not a waste at all.

I never said it was a waste, but the movie is not a looker compared to other 35mm movies. As i said most of the upgrade comes from the new scan compared to a very old telecine...

There ain't no hawk, kid. You can't see for sh*t, can you?

All right, how far can you see?

Can you see that scrub oak yonder?

He's blind, Will.

Now hold on. Hold it. How far can you see, Kid? Fifty yards?

You hear that, Ned? The kid can see fifty yards. Fine. Fifty yards will do just fine.
