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. |
The theoretical maximum for fine-grained 35mm film is about 8700*5800 pixels or about 50 Megapixels. So regardless of aspect ratio, any 35nm film could be scanned to better than 4k resolution (whether you want/can do that or not depends on your budget and film quality).
