The resolution is still much higher than 1080p and closer to 4k and I've heard that it can vary throughout a film, so wouldn't it still benefit from being remastered at that resolution? I've also heard that any IMAX film will have more quality than 4k. |
Well IMAX is a different story that's a 70mm film and the resolution would be much greater then 4k.. thing is that it's incredible expensive..
And no the horizontal resolution equalivant wouldn't be 3840 cause.. older 35mm film has up to 3000 lines while newer 35mm film can have in excess of 4000 lines.. only movies shot at Super 35mm could come close to 3840.. most movies also have the soundtrack on it so even when you have a newer 35mm film it cuts a lot of lines..
But the normal film the resolution is much higher than 1080p but since the old movies are already having a lot of trouble getting a good 1080p version (original Star Wars) because of the quality of the 35mm reels.. they used chemical, so over time it will be affected and degrade the image quality..
So it's a bit tricky to remaster old movies to 4k movies.. and probably a more costly thing then 2k..
but you are right if you had a fresh super 35mm completly uneffected by time it would be benefitial to remaster them at 4K...
