I trust you didn’t watch the 2004 version of THX?
Other than the highway car shots, pretty much all the changes are improvements IMO.
Looks at name of forum, then your post, then at name of forum again and goes cross-eyed.
The Star Wars SEs have more questionable stuff in them than THX 2004 does IMO.
The effects are less dodgy, most of it doesn’t change the tone, and like the best SE changes, it makes the world feel less low budget. The THX working scenes feel a lot better with people out of focus in the background all toiling away too.
