So the CGI is technically upscaled 2K (scanned from film though), and everything else is true 4K. It’s a very thorough remaster, from what I’ve read.

I realize this is quite subjective, but how well do you think the effects hold up?

You’re just looking at the HD version and not the 4k, but I’ve read a lot of people expressing concerns about how effects heavy shots would age once the refreshed live action material was set alongside it.

Out of curiosity, what’s the verdict on how they handled the original digital negatives for effects?

Aside from being an incredible film, They Shall Never Grow Old established that Peter Jackson and Weta are very capable of finding ways to make old material shine. I imagine he’s invested in his work looking the best it can. Really looking forward to seeing examples of the new treatment.

If anyone here would be willing to burn me a disc, please PM me. I don’t generally have use for the facility to burn BD, but I really want this on disc.
