Very True.

I think people get way too hung up on the SE’s vfx being “only” 2k when that’s still the case for movies being made almost two decades later.

The same podcast where I heard that info about Catching Fire and Interstellar (fxguide, if anyone’s wondering) also did an interview with Lola where they talked about The Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron. When the host asked what res they were working at, he very specifically said 3.4k, which happens to be the same res the movie was shot at. Granted, they didn’t handle all of the effects shots in the movie, but I wonder why they would bother if it was just gonna get finished at 2k.

For what it’s worth, imdb lists it as a 2k finish. I can’t help but wonder if there are 3.4k files of the finished movie sitting somewhere at Disney just waiting for a 4k HDR grade.
