Just stubbled across this thread after viewing the disappointing DC last night.  Is Version 2 ready yet?  I so long to see this movie as it was originally portrayed.  If version 2 is not completed yet, is version 1 still out?

 PM sent. V2 is not done yet.

 Are those my Aliens caps in your sig?

they are the only way I watch the movies, I think they look great.

Obviously they are not at the correct frame rate, but that can be sorted

As you can see the pictures suggest a somewhat warm picture. Due to the quality we can draw no 100% right conclusion. I stil think however that the bluray was meant to mimmick the 35mm with a warmer (as in an 80's) bulb used to project it.

Edit: pictures provided by Harmy, had to check if he was ok with me mentioning that.

And last I saw it projected 35mm Dolby A-type was 2002 and it wasn't using an 80's lamp. Looked about the same it did from 70mm 6track Dolby at the local to 35mm optical in smaller screens over the 80's till maybe '84 was last time I saw in the '80's. Then gap between the '90's nope. Surprised to see it again 2002 Triple bill well almost. The films was divided up into individual showings over 3 weeks a rather crappy way of doing I think.

Raiders, was picture wise good for its age. Included the old "A" certificate that alone was priceless it was like being transported back in time. optical soundtrack the chap I spoke to experimented by using Dolby SR rather than A-type and sounded fine. 

Temple of Doom, was okay minus the grim "chest" scenes but was still enjoyable.

Last Crusade, was fine. Nothing can beat pure film with brilliance of pure light projecting it onto the screen.

 PCC? Was Raiders Yellow or Green? 

I have all the original 6 Sky captures 

Nope, shame still would be cool to see 

I would like to see that, is it a cce print?

The shots from the new disc are in this thread

Somewhere between is what I have always said 

How much he was involved depends greatly on who you listen to.

but he has been trying to recreate the photochemical look of cce since 

This was taken from a silver retention CCE print, and should be how the film should look.

its somewhere between them both!

Nice stuff thanks 

Indeed, but the LD was overseen by Fincher and would be his preferred framing.

The early DVDs may be based onthis.

Can you post a cap and a timing code from the end scenes and I will match it to the LD  

I would side with the Criterion LD but I would think that dvd would be closer to the original vintage to the bluray or platinum dvd 

Not sure on that, you are the first person saying it has been returned to its original framing 

The new bluray is nice i agree, but it's far from original 

It's good don't get me wrong, I just think people were overly harsh on the Sony

 I get where you're coming from, but the framing has changed from the theatrical twice 

 Are you saying the 2:35 crop of the existing HD masters don't match what was shown in theaters? In that case, I'd understand a desire to go back to an unmatted source.

 Yes, I believe it was in the platinum edition extras "video mastering" they show shots being reframed IIRC 

Contrast boosting yes and overly sharpened, I actually played with matching the video on the new MGM 4k disc and they are not too far apart after some tinkering 

The framing is the other issue with regrading the BD

That's not too bad at all
