So this guy talks about 35mm that is idealised by so many fans around here. I completely agree with him.
I just came back from a 35mm screening of Slumdog Millionaire (I know, a bit ironic considering that the film was shot digitally) and it was the best quality of projection I've seen in years - sure, there were some scratches on the ends of the reels and the sound crackled a bit sometimes but the colors were gorgeous and there was no stupid raster like there always was on all digital projections I've ever seen (last film I saw before this was a digital projection of How to Train Your Dragon 2 and the raster of the projection was so horribly distracting, it took away most of the visual impact of this otherwise pretty great flick for me). It'd been so long since I'd last seen a 35mm print, I was actually pretty surprised how little grain there was visible in the projection too.
Well I wasn't aiming at the screen projection aspects. I was aiming at the process of capturing and containing the colours. When you put it in RGB it will stay the same forever.
Anyway since you mentioned screen projection, I hate it. No matter how good the equipment is, the colours are bad compared to modern LED displays (at least to me). That is why I don't go to film theatres lately.
