As a noob can i ask a question about Aotc and ROTS. If they were shot in just cropped 1080p how on earth did they get it to look clear and everything blown up and projected onto massive cinema screens. Just interested in the technical know how here.
It has a lot to do with what the human eye can actually resolve. It’s the reason why 4K TVs really don’t make a difference in your home viewing unless you A. Get a giant (90"+) set or B. Sit really close…
Typically only the first few rows of a movie theater are close enough, even on that big screen, to truly see the difference in 2K and 4K. Not to say we shouldn’t be pursuing greater resolutions, but really it’s things like dynamic range/HDR and color accuracy that most people are going to benefit from with a 4K format.
