4K Restoration of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ Returns to Theaters - Page 3

^ I agree... the movie was still great at the theaters in 4k.

I need to correct a bit in the case of jaws... while they might have been able to use a single film element... there was HUGE exposure and saturation issues from shot to shot within a single scene within that print, they took care of post scan... making everything very consistent. This correction didn't seem to have been done in LoA to the same extent. mainly in the dusk desert shots and some indoor shots. once you see it I think some might agree that these things can be corrected post scan.

Interesting. It wasn't posted here. I did look around a bit on the web as well. Although my local theater was showing it (and has at least one 4k projector), I wasn't able to get a clear answer one way or the other. As I said, I couldn't go either way, but hope they get better about disclosing the technology used for projecting these sort of things.

not a complete list as some of the other theaters offer 4k, but:

R there any more 4k restorations?

Thanks for the update. The Cinemark Tinseltown cineplex in OKC was on your list. I saw a movie there today and saw that they are now billing their Number 1 theater as "Extreme Digital." This gives me hope that they will show the 4K version of Lawrence of Arabia there. I asked the young man taking tickets whether the Extreme Digital was a 4K theater and he said that it was but who knows what he really knows.

gwsat, hope you were able to see and enjoy the restoration. I did and thought the improved clarity and contrast were excellent. I will buy the Blu-ray DVD. My only criticism of the theatric presentation is: Please, movie theaters...turn down the sound! Oh yes, loud explosions, chugging trains, and galloping camels are dramatic; but past a certain point they become "just noise." When sound is loud enough to cause discomfort, it's too much. Aside from that, the music and dialogue were crystal clear and wonderful...Loved LoA in 4K!

I was watching Argo and it was ad for turner classic release! I vaguely remember Sony also had a slide for 4K restoration? Is it gone with the wind?

Missed the 4k showing by one day. I have seen the 70mm restoration when it first came out and it would be hard to top that.
