one interesting thing I noticed was the green was dialed back on the remastered 1080p disk, unfortunately has a poor encode

Interestingly they also dialed back the green from the sequels that originally had it. I can’t fully remember, but I think those ones were green in theater as well. It was nice seeing them without it.

Just curious, what makes you say the remaster is a poor encode? I also think it could be better but I was wondering what gives it away in the photos?

Regarding my original post, I realized my phone is HDR and I could do a proper comparison.

If you compare the freezeframe at 1:20 in this video (with an HDR screen) to the photo album, there’s much less blue in the HDR.

I think the dark details come off as more bluey for some reason. This makes me wonder about the accuracy of other HDR media being encoded for non-HDR screens. I might try to encode the original disc and play around with the tone mapping to see if I can get a more accurate SDR of this remaster.
