2.0 looks good (though maybe just a hair *too* dark?). Ginge and others who have actually seen the film in a theater can correct me, but I've always assumed that on a cinema screen, those painted people wouldn't be as bright and obvious as they were in the GOUT and other video transfers. All of the transfers had brightness, contrast, gamma and other level adjustments to account for the fact that video (and specifically analog video) has a narrower dynamic range than film, and it often played havoc with the black levels. It's the same reason that garbage mattes are so obvious, when they should be virtually invisible in the cinema.

(Also, the adjustments were not the same for every scene. Notice how in the pre-GOUT transfers, you can see the picture getting brighter as it wipes from 3PO in the desert to R2 in the canyon...)

Ginge, could you see the painted troops clearly in the Senator screening?
