Just a head’s up, the separation masters consist of three different strips of film so 3 different layers of grain, scratches, dust etc.

Not to mention that film tends to shrink and warp over time so the images don’t always line up.

Thanks to modern technology, a lot of this can be overcome, but it requires more steps and manipulation of the image. The OCN is definitely preferable in this situation.

Guys and gals, we did it.

Ah I see the problem… I was trying the google drive links just above this page. I didn’t bother looking to see that you must have already edited your links.

I have compiled a 64-bit version for OSX. I tested it on my Macbook pro (still running OSX High Sierra) and on a virtual machine (still running on OSX Sierra), and it worked on both but I can’t tell you for sure that it will run on Catalina, so give it a go:

Web installer (32 MB): https://mega.nz/#!D9JUzCRC!0B482Vg6yIC9eZXKAsOMdLnLvFItG5bv5JKJ0BJraYI

Full installer (879 MB): https://mega.nz/#!D1YUnATI!g21ed17ldNaXQ0ZZN43_j3dEFBxsNeO8foslxuDD98A

Note: either way, you will have to download about 900 MB: the only difference is that the web installer will download the other 800+ MB during install whereas the full installer requires the download up front. When I tested them, the web installer was unable to connect to the matlab URL it needed to in order to download the rest of it, so you might be better off with the bigger download…

It looks like the download links don’t work anymore. Would you mind putting up a new link? Thank you!

Keep in mind that rotten tomatoes changed how audience scores were measured when Captain Marvel was released.

Because of review bombing, only certified audience members can vote.

Plus, it’s been documented that there was an effort to review bomb the last jedi:

I kinda feel like they could have made Rey have nobodies as parents and still be linked to Palpatine.

In the same way Anakin was hinted to as being created by the force, so could have Rey. They didn’t need to go the route of “Sike! She’s his granddaughter!”

I think the granddaughter thing is a lie, to manipulate Rey. Manipulation is what Palpatine does best…

Eeeeeh.

After seeing it, I’d give it a 75%. It does some stuff fine, other ideas are clunky. But it’s not a trainwreck.

I came out of RotS completely deflated but came out of this one going “Ok. Ok. Not bad.”

What I’m saying is: give it a chance.

I just got back as well.

I liked TFA and strongly defend TLJ as one of the top 3-4 films in the franchise.

What did I think? I thought it was pretty good actually.

It has its issues, but it’s not the trainwreck the reviewers are making it out to be.

I suppose the leaks are true, and I can see people being upset if they read a synopsis, but the execution is alright. They really did Rey and Ben right in this one.

Oh and I don’t recall seeing that much lens flare at all RU.08. The JJ lens work is pretty subdued.

Sitting in the theater as we speak! See y all on the other side.

I’ll be seeing this in 5 hours (yay Europe!). I’ll let y’all know how it goes.

The premiere here is less than 90 minutes, lol, and still plenty of seats available at all my local cinemas. All I want to know before I buy a ticket is this. Is it the same JJ shaky-cam style cinematography as in The Force Awakens, if it is I’m not going. Let me know! This will determine whether or not I see it tomorrow.

I’m on it!

Domestic: 702 million.

I’d like to see a screenshot of the Tantive door right before the imperials blow it up. It’s been used as an example of how much detail was lost in the cleaning process for the dvd/bluray.

Ok, cool! I’ll have to check it out then! Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Can anyone comment on the colour grade of these?

People have said the grading is redone and looks more like the theatrical version.

So without spoilers… what are people saying/thinking about the series? The trailers look great but they can be deceptive…

Hello! No further work has been done on this particular edit - it was created simply as a placeholder until the Italian print was restored.

I personally don’t have any additional information about that 35mm restoration.

Here’s how the OT and PT did in theaters:

1st film: record breaking numbers

2nd film: successful, but much lower than the 1st.

3rd: better than the 2nd but not as good as the 1st.

And for the ST?

TFA: Record breaking numbers

TLJ: successful, but much lower than the 1st.

TROS: ?? (my guess: in between TFA and TLJ)

Ah! Sorry I never got around to it and thank you for picking up the slack. I’m about to send you a PM with a link for the flac file.

Here I am!

Wait Catbus, did you end up doing a GOUT sync? I’ll admit I’ve been busy and have only now been replying to messages from months ago.

I don’t have a DTS-HD track. Just a FLAC track. I can send you a link for that if you’d like.

Thank you!!!

Hello everyone,

As you may know, there was an isolated score track that was only available on a digital release. I have the Bluray and since I live in Europe, I didn’t have access to this download code on ‘Movies Anywhere’.

Does anyone know where/how I can obtain this track? I’d like to mux it in my personal copy. Thank you!

If you watch the deleted scenes, you can see that the footage went through a LOT of post processing to alleviate the harshness of the original video source.

It was also outputted to 35mm for release and judging by the quality of the home video releases, they scanned the 35mm negative instead of going back to the original DV tapes.

In a way…it’s already been upscaled.
