The print has been undergoing a $hitload of TLC over the past few months. For instance, the restoration working on the film just finished repairing a TEN FOOT TEAR without losing a single frame! It's a very time consuming process and can only be accomplished by someone like him with extensive knowledge and experience (a rarity nowadays).
That's awesome! Love all the effort that is going into preserving this print. I looked at the comparison clip, and it looks quite nice. It takes a second to get used to the colors, considering no modern home video release has ever looked like that, but, as said, it's very far off from the latest 4K release.
The after part of the comparison looks nice. There's still film damage obviously, but it kinda goes with the aesthetic of the film...
