OK, I just saw an IMAX print screening of TDK, and the colors do look in line with the more "green" images. Maybe not as green/yellow, but certainly not as pink/red as the Blu-ray. Either blue/teal with some green, or yellow/orange/brown, in line with how I remember the film looking in 35mm in 2008.

 Thanks for this.

Very Interesting. I was begining to believe that the IMAX print (which I think is the version that made its way onto Blu) would not be that much different.

so.....

They took the 35mm parts and 'upscaled' it to IMAX for that print. It's unknown at this point if it was taken from the finished (Nolan Approved) version (Colour ect) or before.

The IMAX version is what was put to Blu ray. This has also been mangled / changed (Colour, more EE).

How do we explain the problems with the DVD / HDTV versions that contain the 2:35:1 crops on the IMAX scenes? Were they taken from the 35mm version? The problems (Colour, EE ect) are identical.

Just out of interest, I don't know if you will remember TServo2049, but was the Bank Vault in the Prologue Blue (Begins footage) or Green (TDK BLu) ? Im sorry I should of asked you to look out for it.
