The whole film is way off. The shot-by-shot colouring is pretty fucked, especially since it seems that many of the problems were ones the 2004 set created in the first place. In terms of colour information, usually its all there which is good, but the colours have been boosted and manipulated in unnatural ways that often makes them look ugly (i.e. skin tones, colour casts, popping, inconsistent colours, desaturation, oversaturation). In some ways its easier than the GOUT because the colour is all there you just have to tweak each shot, but that shot-by-shot manipulation is a lot more work than the GOUT which mainly just requires a gamma and saturation boost. If you look at Mike Verta's page on CC'ing the 2004 version you can see it is a lot more work than it looks at first. Wouldn't Adywan have already done this though? He probably has a CC'd 2004 master sitting somewhere from before he began editing and vfx work.
