So, is this the thread where the Jurassic Park 35mm release is discussed?
Anyway, I just watched it, and it was indeed a pretty cool experience. I saw it in theater in 1993 and couldn't remember how it looked. So now, I know that the 3D Blu-ray is a close match colorwise.
Now I know that this is a raw v1.0 that I just watched, but here's my comments anyway, and I'm sure the guys behind it are already aware of these:
- colors do look pale. I believe it would need to be more saturated.
- night scenes are really dark. Is that supposed to be so dark? Maybe to create a creepy mood? I don't know, but that's not how it looks on video since whenever and a lot of details are lost in this dark environment, even on the actors' faces.
- some stabilization would be good, as the movie shakes on many occasions.
- there are some brightness on the left and right sides that is very noticeable, especially in the beginning and ending credits, where the whole frame is black, except for the inscriptions of the credits of course.
And finally, on the plus side: digital creatures do integrate a lot better on film, that's for sure. The T-Rex, the raptors, the galimimuses never looked so real on video. So thanks. Looking forward for the next v2.0 release.
