If this becomes cost-effective, and editing setups can online this massive resolution of footage, then I, with extreme sadness, predict the death of film by the end of the next decade (that is, 2020). It will happen the same way film editing switched to digital. Once it becomes cost-effective and the quality debate is negligible, that's the end.

Is that a bad thing? I'm not a videophile and I'm certainly no expert, but if the difference in quality becomes negligible, I certainly don't see that as a bad thing. Obviously there won't be any grain after that, but I don't think I'd even call that a negative for digital. Since grain is just the way film is, then the death of film would mean the end of grain, but I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing.

So, as a serious question, is the death of 35mm a bad thing and why?
