An extremely cyberpunk undertaking has occurred. Someone has taken the original 35MM film from Terminator 2 and re-scanned it in with modern techniques. It apparently has brought out detail that hasnt been seen in any of the official releases of the film.

The links are in a big reddit post talking about it https://www.reddit.com/r/Terminator/comments/1c723y0

There is also a blurb from someone who purchased and scanned in the 35mm film for the trailers thats interesting:

quote:



These three 35mm trailers below are ones I bought off eBay from a cinema, and were scanned (at great expense to me personally!) by a company in London in 2017. I wanted them scanned so I at least had a copy of the actual film reels that I owned in my collection. They were washed and 2K transferred via Spirit line array CCD, with an optical audio extraction. We didn't do 4K because these are second-generation POSITIVE prints, and not from the original negative. An original NEGATIVE print would have been done on a 6K Arriscan, which would have scanned each frame separately in RGB as well as Infra Red, and then had two different intensities to provide a high dynamic range scan. There was also an option of a Kodak Digital-ICE scan, which provides an error map of surface blemishes that automatically corrects. But we didn't do that!

The trailers are in rough condition, so there are flashes and scratches all over them. These are untouched and as they came from the company who scanned them in London, so no colour correction or re-grading or anything. The YouTube versions will obviously have been compressed.

I did a DPX-to-TIFF conversion for each frame, added the optical audio file, and made a quick MP4 version for review. My project stopped there!

Fun facts: On average, ONE frame of these 35mm cells scanned in DPX format is roughly 48MB in size. The teaser trailer "Making The Perfect Arnold..." total size is 98GB, Trailer 1 "Same Make, New Mission" is 138GB and the Trailer 2 "This Time There Are Two" is 124GB for the raw DPX files.

Teaser: Making A Better Arnold 35mm version

Trailer 1: This Time There Are Two 35mm version

Trailer 2: Same Model Different Mission 35mm version

If anyone is interested, there are different takes used in the trailers, and I wrote a blog about it a long time ago!

the only actual link in that reddit post is the one that's already been posted here - which doesn't actually get you to the rest of the twitter thread unless you support elon enough to have a twitter account.

but there is a screenshot of the rest of the twitter thread that you can read and type out the links from

idgi why hasn't an actual studio (who presumably have the negatives) done that? Or is it in the back burner to do another "no this is the ultimate version" thing?

or are they just worried that people will notice the bit with the bike chase where John Connor is clearly a man in his 30s doing the stunts

The latest 4K bluray of T2 is far worse than the earlier 1080P bluray from the 2010's, so I think its just a matter of whoever is in charge not giving a poo poo, and knowing that Terminator 2 can sell on its name alone regardless of quality

i like it. while i don't doubt some people when they say they can't get past the design choices and very anime plot structure the main thing keeping it down is one of the most awkwardly wooden romance subplot in cinema.

like, the rest is dumb in a real fun way.

that was covered with LEDs and didn't actually ship until 2021?

and then turned out to not be an effective face mask anyway?

trying to take 3~4 thin manga plots and make one movie with them takes its toll on gally's relationships. iirc the romance/relationship is flat there, too, or maybe not really there? it's been a while
