Hello there.
Here is my attempt to get a definitive edition of the first Terminator movie by using the best of each world and merging them all into a single release. What does that even mean ?
Now that the official ultra hd bluray is released and confirmed to use AI, I went back to the original remastered bluray and decided to give it my own 4K Filmized remaster treatment.
Using the original MGM DVD as reference, I color graded the remastered bluray image close to the original color timing. Most of the new yellow/teal tint that was applied at the time is now gone but the color palette is not perfectly matching the original color grading. That’s why I’m not calling it a neutral color grading. But still, this new color grading has been upscaled to 4K (without Topaz or any AI tools) and a light 4K film stock grain has been applied to match source with its new size.
Original US Mono Mix and International Dual Mono Mix (including different sound effects) have been sourced from laserdiscs and synced. Dolby Atmos Mix from the UHD is synced as well. French audio tracks in Mono and DTS-HDMA 5.1 have also been synced (thanks to the QTZ team that did the whole audio sync work for their encoding of the 4K image in light format)
Here are screenshots to give you an idea.
