I respectfully disagree, film is not usually that contrasty. In the left picture the blacks have been crushed.

Then we agree to disagree. I distinctly remember the look of 35mm prints and seeing the scans of Star Wars and others confirmed my memories. Having trained in cinematography myself and having just finished my very own documentary short, I cannot, in my right mind agree with anyone, that the right image looks cinematic. It is quite unpalatable to me, to be honest. The Green shift is revisionist for sure. That I agree.

Look at your Titanic print. Gorgeous, proper contrast, shadows, deeper colours, good highlights. An image “alive” in every possible way. I cannot say the same for the Alien image on the right.

On a side note, it’s better not to begin another long debate arguing about ‘Aliens’ on a Titanic thread. We have already seen the colours on the Titanic print. There is no debate on the colours of that.
