probably somewhere between a 7 and 10. But it depends on the movie and the quality of the elements. Some need managed grain removal that is carefully done and not just hitting a button on the entire movie.

I’d prefer none. But you get cases where the grain level is unacceptable. Like if you don’t have the original negative and you end up with duplication grain. Some films with lots of age, speckles, splices and dirt need some repairs.

But you also have films where they had access to the original first generation elements and just DVNR for the hell of it like the new edition of Star Trek the motion picture, that actually kind of pissed me off. Why go back to the 65mm neg and vistavision masters just to do that. Its ridiculous.
