It the 'color-corrected every frame' comment that's really got me worried!

The 'look' of a movie's colour is one of the things I'm most concerned with when it comes to all these re-releases.

I despise the overly-dark, 'stylised' re-coloration that Ridley Scott did for his ALIEN:DIRECTOR'S CUT, which seems to be the default new colour for the original cut too now, compared to it's great original colouration.  And the same goes for what he did to his BLADERUNNER:FINAL CUT also, which messed with the original's excellent colours.

I wonder how far Cameron has deviated for this BLURAY release now?  The original color is ALREADY perfect on ALIENS (and the 'Special Edition') as it is, so count me nervous again.

Too many directors are fouling up their originals with all this colour-grading nonsense.  It looks like I'll be sticking with more and more DVD originals at this rate...
