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

I mean, Cameron is a douche, but he’s right in this case. There’s a lot to complain about with his body of work, but grain levels just aren’t on the list.

He made some really good movies barely watchable with AI upscaling. Imagine walking by a bridge construction and you ask the guy responsible why the two ends don’t line up and he says: get a life loser, i build a lot of bridges.

The grain isn’t the issue. They are straight up AI upscales filled with artefacts and barely any use of HDR colour capabilities. Fan edits have done better jobs.

Who cares about grain levels, it just looks like shit.

It’s a straw man. A lot of the 4k cameron remasters are not good. Color correction being extremely off being one of the biggest sins.

Also. His argument is awful “my team has done this forever”… Well they’ve done it wrong, guy. Literally have not heard of any other movie getting criticism for a 4k remaster except his

It feels like he’s jumped on the one time the criticism wasn’t that valid, to invalidate all the times legitimate complaints have been raised.

The comparison images from the link sure seem to show reducing the grain was the right decision, but I haven’t seen it in motion.

They focus on the grain reduction nagging in Aliens when that was not even that big of an issue.

My main problem with these recent 4K releases was True Lies, it has straight up AI hallucinations in it, I really doubt he rewatched the final product at all.
