I loved that grain!
I really would rather they remaster the Terminator 3.
That one's a good movie marred by terrible sound design. They literally have cartoon sound effects. It ruins the movie for me.
I'm not sure I agree.
T3 is basically an action movie parody. If you look at the movie like it's supposed to be a joke and not taken seriously, the cartoon sound effects add something.
Why they chose this franchise to make that movie rather than making it with an original IP is up for debate, but T3 is still a pretty fun watch.
I haven't watched it in years, but I really liked where the story went at the end with the Skynet winning.
sigh
I get it, on one hand I can see trying to make sure it looks good for years to come. And I also see why people are upset from a historical context. As a person who grew up with aliens and terminator on vhs/laserdisc/dvd, I love and appreciate the film grain. And I can appreciate some removal of the grain to help with clarity. But remove every bit of grain makes it look and feel like a different movie. I also understand why they attempted to update the audio to go with the film, but again I also appreciate leaving the original audio alone so that people can have a little of the original left to enjoy. Over all I consider this to be both a good and bad thing. Cameran is doing things most studios don’t or won’t do which is allowing studios and other group who do restoration work to see what the winds of change are requesting of them.
This is the dumbest controversy.
