Well, actually, film in the 70s had the same resolution as today and higher then most digital cameras today, so a proper modern 4K scan of the original negative should actually provide much more detail.
I remember people making even stronger statements on TFN. Some have even claimed that GOUT is the best possible preservation of the OT due to "70s film limitations" or some nonsense.
I don't intend to sound arrogant here, but what do these people think? Do they think that 70s audiences sat and watched Laserdisc-quality films on the huge screen of the local cinema?
What's next? Is the VHS of The Wizard of Oz the best possible preservation due to "30s film limitations"?
