Nah that's fair, I'm just mucking about.
It's being touted as a live action, film length Real Ghostbusters episode, which I'm happy with.
To be honest as long as it harks back to the original two movies, has (the proper) ecto and proton packs spooling up, I'll be happy

a fantastic movie
My favourite story about the making of The Abyss is Ed Harris nearly dying and punching James Cameron in the face because he kept filming rather than getting help.
Good for Ed Harris.

Yep, but it's quite controversial for reasons that go over my head.
772 pages of discussion on it here (!):

From what I read the 4K transfer was based on the same transfer they made for the 3D release.
One of the big issues is that for that 3D release they applied a lot of Digital Noise Reduction to the picture, which cleans up a lot grain. But they went too far meaning that skin looks waxy and overly smooth. It's quite bad. Since that transfer seems to have been the basis of the 4K remaster it's really noticable.
There are also other changes, with a slightly bluer tone applied to the film and a handful of small effect tweaks and corrections. But it's the DNR over-use which is the biggest issue.
The 1080p BluRay version is still probably the best one in terms of picture quality.
Looking forward to the Abyss. I watched a fan up-scale a few months ago and it's still a great looking film.
Also looking forward to potential True Lies and Aliens at some point. It's crazy we've not had that yet.
I'll probably pick up Titanic as well to replace my Blu Ray copy. Great looking movie.

Got it, cheers. I did notice that it looked unusually 'modern', which maybe is the result of the loss of grain.

I'm not familiar at all with Madame Web other than having heard of her so I can't tell if this looks good or not. I think the trailer seems a bit poor, it's not exactly hooking me in at the moment.
I believe this is supposed to tie into the recent Sony spiderverse films.
Also what's with all the multiple looking spider heroes. Are they some sort of female spider team in comics.
