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.
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
Who cares about grain levels, it just looks like shit.
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.
lol, honestly respect him for not bending over backwards or giving a “political” response.
Sometimes you just need to tell people to fuck off and suck it up, especially when you’ve got nerds looking for a reason to be angry.
The Aliens transfer is possibly the best I have ever seen, of any movie. WTF is wrong with these people?
EDIT: Gang, I apologize. I know what’s wrong with them. I was just venting in the form of a question.
Modern social media gives a huge voice to the dipshits who just want to be mad at something. So they find some miniscule issue they can be made at and social media amplifies it as if it were a legitimate critique.
Most of these types of “complaints” can be safely ignored. Just as Cameron points out here, with no fucks given to their feelings.
5 minutes ago I knew nothing about this, and honestly I don’t have the “discerning eye” necessary to notice these issues even if they did exist.
That being said, I have been looking for something to get mad at…
I have no complaints. Was just happy it FINALLY came out in 4K. Was on my wish list for years.
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.
