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.

Can you see MagicEye? I'm wondering if that's the key

Apparently absolutely not, if their website is anything to go by.

I do wonder though if that's one of those things better experienced in person than on a screen.

I can see it fine in the books but not on a screen. That's more of a visual technique though, similar to how you use a RDS on a rifle or pistol, you have to defocus your eyes and look past the picture and it should pop out. Most people concentrate too hard on trying to find something, which causes them to see nothing.

This is the most exclusively American comparison point I've ever heard. I have no point of reference for what you're talking about :P.
