You can find the full interview here. Not very long but some interesting titbits on various projects including a new Terminator (he reveals nothing).

So what’s wrong with a little grain? off colors? I mean, the audio world is shifting back to vinyl because it is imperfect but unique in a way that you can only appreciate when you hear other versions and dislike them because they don’t “pop, skip, smoosh” the same way as you record does.

But the problem with Cameron is that he’s removing the grain almost completely, using AI to help do it and it’s making the films look worse.

To be fair he’s using it at different levels, Titanic and The Abyss look the best but Aliens and Truth Lies look the worse.

The replies to this post make me think most people haven’t seen the videos showing the hideous face distortions in the latter two.

I haven’t and am not having luck finding them. Got a link by chance?

The vinyl analogy can be used for these 4k remasters, but it’s more akin to using AI to clean up audio in a vinyl recording and adding a bunch of distortion in the process.
