     @guizzy apparently the Aliens 4k is not even a new transfer, its based on the blu ray. the "HDR" never goes over 200 nits and colors barely leave 709, but at least everyones faces are AI claymation and distant details are warped into made up messes. i had to turn off The Abyss it looked so fucking bad. im never gonna watch these movies again until we get a despecialized thing

     @why I have that 4K Aliens transfer and I haven't watched it yet. I was under the impression from other reviews online that the complaints were overreactions but now reading this from James Cameron and having it compared and linked to Avatar makes me a lot more suspicious.

     @sun @guizzy you could say watching the rough draft while doing lines of coke and making business calls for Avatar 5 is "personally checking every frame".
     hes just lying and doesnt give a shit

     @guizzy @why I just agree with why that it is disappointing when you see artifacting in a thing they expect you to pay for again

     @sun @why He probably genuinely sees it as an improvement. He's always hated film grain.
     
     Most enthusiasts see film grain and other film artefacts as charming and want something that looks like they're watching a premium film format (65mm, IMAX, etc...) at home. James Cameron wants his old movies to look like they were released last year, filmed on digital, and he might not care what he loses to get there.

     @sun @why TBH, even the worst modern transfers are probably totally watchable for casual audiences; I doubt 95% of the population would even notice any of it. I don't notice it on movies I don't deeply care about.
     
     The main problem though is that the people who buy 4K Blu-Rays in 2024 fits entirely within the remaining 5%.
