Yes, there is a teal push to make it look a bit more modern. But this new color timing is significantly superior to what was done in 1986 in every possible way. The talk that it hardly has any other colors besides teal is complete nonsense and is laughable at best.
Everything else with the transfer is perfection, film like grain, moderate DNR, no EE, no black crush, etc. And amazing lossless original soundtrack.
Of all the classic films that have been mistreated over the years, you guys have the nerve to pick on this one?"
I tend to agree with this though saying this guy is the most talented filmmaker ever is pretty much heresy. This guy has a ton of awful films imo and even when they are great they offer no reflection on society or high art or anything like that. I will just hope you meant filmmaker as in the guy on the grounds creating a rich film world or something. His action films are definitely pretty great but in no way does this guy even exist in my top 20 directors. That is only my opinion though.
I am still pissed at how he ruined The Abyss with that ending from gotdamn hell. If he could have only left us with the guy sinking into the abyss and then maybe nothing or anything really than what he did to that film. I refuse to watch it ever again. I loved 98% of it but that 2% kills me to the heart.

It is not real grain you know, right?
