Just over a week ago I heard about the coming release of HBO’s “From the Earth to the Moon” to Blu-ray in time for the 50th Anniversary and straight away I was excited for it.
When I got it home, I immediately played it and realized that something didnt look right. The original VFX shots that were created in SD have all been redone, and at first I thought it was an improvement, until I got to see that many, many things were wrong.
One of them I caught was the descent stage portion of the Lunar Module in Part 6 was completely reversed, and the 3d model of the Lunar Module used in the remake didnt even match up to the set version unlike the original VFX.
So I took matters into my own hands and try my hand to see if I was able to restore the original VFX of “From the Earth to the Moon” and possibly upscale them to match to Blu-Ray quality.
