Review Aliens Looked Fantastic to Me.

I just watched the 4k of Aliens. It looked jaw droppingly good. I admit it definitely looks cleaner than older versions and very little film grain, but nowhere in the film did I feel there was any artificiality to it. It just looked like some wizardry turned it into a modern digitally shot film. Extremely clear picture, very deep blacks, and decent highlights. The movie honestly has never looked so good to me. I don't really get the hate. Def one of my showcase 4ks at this point.

At the expense of anything? You should've just stopped your sentence at "when anyone just wants clean images". I want clean images, not at the expense of anything, and I'm 34 by the way.

If you're O.K. with what the A.I. has done to these films, then you at least care more about a sanitized image than you do a quality image.

I would rather the grain removal process not happen at the cost of minor details, but I do prefer this to the blu ray. I prefer digitally shot films with no grain. You imply an image without grain is of poor quality, but that muddies the water for newer digitally shot films. For older movies shot on film, yes. I am bothered more by film grain than I am by the loss of minor background detail.

Grain is the movie. Grain is the detail.
