35mm release prints were notoriously inconsistent from one print to the next and even from the showing of a print to the next showing of the same print!

It is one of the reasons(if not the main reason) why they have been phased out.

Francis Ford Coppola admitted h could not remember what the original Godfather looked like......who can blame Lucas for being the same with Star Wars.

Despite the inconsistencies you claim, I'd take that any day to the consistently messed-up colors of the BD.

Because the colours were so consistent on the laserdisc or on the VHS tapes?!

I have taken a laserdisc rip(to DVD) of the 1993 definitive collection......and plugged it through my 1080p Panasonic AE2000 and Sony 4K. projectors..........and they look f*****g awful in practically every regard.

Now I have a relatively small screen compared to some of the other high end home theatre enthusiasts (just 77inches in width)......but the laserdisc's image starts to crumble long before the above mentioned screen size is reached.

I also have the original 1982 VHS tape(and V2000---an early competitor to VHS) and I really enjoy watching it for what it is.......but they don't hold a candle in terms of quality relative to the blu ray( upscaled to 4K or not).
