[Grain Of Salt] Aliens/3/Resurrection 4K Remasters Inbound

[Nukiemorph]

Weird, I still don't see anything.

It's a GIF of Hudson saying to Vasquez: "Colors that pop. Vivid mode."
Vasquez responds "You take that back."

[SiL]

Ignorance was bliss.

You'll sleep better now though.

Good analysis.

He's not crazy about the enhanced sharpness & grain-reduction, but he loves the new audio.

He also points out how much more detail we could have gotten from highlights and shadows if they'd re-scanned the film in 4K like they did for Alien. But Jim just upscaled the existing transfer from the blu-ray, so this release doesn't really get any benefit from 4K's higher dynamic range.

Or any other real benefit of 4K for that matter. Not doing a 4K scan is dumb.

So what's the verdict?  Has the color red been completely eradicated yet?

[Nukiemorph]

Not when viewed through the tears of blood that this "abomination" apparently provokes.

[E. Shaw]

Wouldn't be too surprised if this was true... but I'll be very surprised if they give the 4K effort to the assembly cut.

The Assembly Cut needs it, the audio is bad in places, sounds like static school announcement mike in parts when they re-inserted scenes.

Aliens will be the worst looking of the Alien films in 4K and that's nuts.

[SiL]

Aliens is the worst looking of the films in any format.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Agree to disagree parts of Alien³ and most of Resurrection are barely any better than the DVD on Blu-ray.

[SiL]

No, I don't think I will.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Aliens on Blu-ray looks damn good, Alien³ restored stuff not so much, Alien Resurrection pretty rarely.





From filmic to a soap opera.

[SiL]

Resurrection is beautiful on blu.

Aliens will always be the worst looking of the films regardless of format.
