I bet this is exactly how the official blu-ray will look. Teal...

Even when I was a kid and didn't know anything about color timing, I saw that there was something about James Cameron using a lot of blue in his movies like Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, it always set a special mood to the films, and now he just changes what many of us grew up watching and loving, just to make it look "modern".

By the look of this, it'll be easy to correct though. Might even work with the script me and DJ are using for T1.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, that the theatrical trailers for The Abyss suggests that the blue look we got used to on video and DVD is the correct one, not the warm-looking japanese broadcast.

 I think it fair to say the DVD is the way it looked in 89. I saw a print in the mid-2000s and remember it having the Cameron-blue filter look. The new colors are definitely Cameron's new obsession with teal/aqua.

The rip of the new HDTV is available on a well known site, in case anyone is interested. Compressed to 2.1gb but still a progress over all previous versions.

 there is also a 14gb version

 Oh that's great saves me the trouble of making a copy. I was trying to borrow hardware from a friend.
