Well, I'd think the twin 4K projectors used by Dolby Vision would be considered a demo (you mentioned how detailed the image was), even if color/HDR wise it wasn't a knockout.

It max's at 6k. It's the same camera he has been using for The Knick.

Color was fantastic. Jaw dropping at times really, but I don't know if HDR really had much to do with it.

Well the combination of that and the lenses he used really gave it that IMAX/65mm look. Reminded me A LOT of the IMAX sequences from TDK and TDKR in look and scope. The 70mm showing I saw of The Master as well.

4K and blu rays are good for home viewing.
4K DCP in a theater is a travesty and absolute dogsh*t.
Digital in theaters has been a giant step backwards.
35mm film is/was 6-8K, and now we settle for 4K? Digital projection in theaters is watching TV in a big room.
Digital is not a magic word that makes things better.
Blu ray and 4K is a great boon for home theater ONLY.
BTW-(Dunkirk 70mm Imax film was 18K. 35mm film screnings were 8K. Dunkirk Digital 70mm Lazer was 4K - digital was the LOWEST resolution you could see the movie).

Just from looking at the trailer (which will be it for me until I can view the UHD) I can see it's got that shallow depth of field that's characteristic to large format, but this not being being large format he's probably used longer lenses and/or shot the movie wide open to create the effect. The digital capture - despite the incessant hype about what film can actually resolve - will also lend itself to that kind of razor sharp detail in those circumstances, as long as the focus is nailed.

35mm is about 3k-5k.
But that doesn't matter for theatrical screenings anyway because the prints were always many generations away from the negative so a typical 35mm screening is probably below 2k.

He had me at 'pellucid'. And 'Ed Ruscha'...

From Nick Pinkerton in ArtForum ~
"What Soderbergh understands and revels in, as working-class hero Andy Warhol did, is the fact that authentic, homespun American life is shot through with a generous dose of artifice—artificial sweeteners and colors that appear nowhere in nature. Soderbergh is acting as his own DP here under his usual “Peter Andrews” pseudonym, shooting on a RED digital camera with Leica Summilux-C lenses, and these give his widescreen frame—invariably teeming with bright life and incident—an ultra-sharp, pellucid, almost glassy deep focus unlike anything in classic, grain-rich 35mm Cinemascope. In constructing his contemporary Appalachia, Soderbergh gets a sense of everyday life that’s bigger than life. He has, somewhat perversely, made a drive-in movie for the hi-def age, one in which flatscreens are ubiquitous—it’s a nice gag that a mounted TV in a hallway plays the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte as background visual noise throughout the film’s mock “prison riot”—in fact an elaborate put-on covering up other subterfuges. The color palette is a combination of cotton-candy pink, My Little Pony band-aids, manicures that glitter like an Arabian Nights treasure trove, the cacophony of sponsorship logos on stock cars, gas stations worthy of Ed Ruscha, and ubiquitous red-white-and-blue gear—this is one of the only movies to take full advantage of the pomp of a major sporting event preshow, replete with an F-14 flyover and LeAnn Rimes belting out the national anthem and everything."

And talking with the great Amy Taubin at 'Film Comment', SS elaborates on his colour work ~

"We were working in a different color space than we normally do. One of the many layers of experimentation of this project involved some things in postproduction that are sort of forward- looking in terms of how we are going to archive things. So we ended up in a color space that, when converted to the color space you use for projection, did some really interesting things that I hadn’t seen before. Initially there was some alarm from people on the post crew. I thought it looked great because certain colors were really exploding. And everyone was asking, “Do you want to desaturate that?” and I said, “No, I think it looks kind of cool.” It was a happy accident, and instead of backing off, I said let’s push it even further. There’s no rational reason why we should do that. But I think when we were looking at the first scene in the bar, I just thought this is going to work."

I have a 100" screen now and I am sure I'd be able to notice the difference if it were 4K. Not only will the detail in the picture be greater, but the contrast and color for larger screens will also increase. Image a screen covering your entire wall and the clarity and accuracy of the color makes you believe that there really is no wall there but it goes on out into a forest setting, but you are in New York City far from any really dense forest like the Olympic National park in Washington state.

That's what I want.

100" screen??? My goodness, how large is your room?
What will you do when the screen, available now in Japan I am told, that stretches out like the masking used to do in cinemas, into true 2.35:1 size for Cinemascope and Panavision movies?
