is it time for remastered movies?

[Caldari Ghost]

with how far technology and 3d rendering has improved over the past few decades it has become impossible to ignore how graphically outdated many classic cgi movies have become. Toy Story, Pirates of The Caribbean, Transformers, Avatar, The Matrix etc. were all made many years ago on now obsolete hardware. Imagine how much better they could look if they were updated with all of the modern improvements we have now. Going to the movie theater might literally become life-changing with how amazing the cgi will look. I think this is a huge missed opportunity.

I prefer movies how they were and how they were originally intended

nothing wrong with 35mm... it still outclasses anything today, in my opinion...:-)

Nothing wrong with digitizing movies and touching them up for higher resolution so things made in the past wont get lost forever.
It`s when you start adding crap like Lucas did with SW that things will go in worse direction often destroying the original meaning and intent.
Even worse when people start censoring old stuff to match the "modern cultural standards".

Old Dune has not aged well. It's Ice Pirates meets Mad Max meets the 60-80s retro future. Even Mad Max is dumb because the fuel they use somehow has no drawbacks whatsoever.

Once a civilization has progressed beyond a certain point it can never go back. You can see this phenomenon quite clearly in real time as well which is not that much different from genetic or even language drift.

It reminds me of 'murican homes with their hidden razer blade dispensers in the bathroom wall because that describes the meaning of sweeping it under the rug quite perfectly.

I couldn't give 2 ♥♥♥♥♥ about the FX. What matters to me is the music and overall presentation.

There's plenty of movies that suffers from house wife syndrome for example regardless of what era it takes place in, because thinking outside the box is somehow a taboo, and not because it's to play safe, but because it's expected.

And yes, I'm talking about the old ones. It's why I mentioned Ice Pirates as well.

Giorgio Moroder is a vandal and a hack. Not "experimental" or "alternative" or "new wave" or "avant"

While I may not know much about him I do know about others that got inspired like Laserdance.

At least movie night is saved. So hi5 for that.
It looks like Pink Floyd's The Wall meets early Cyberpunk dystopia.

They should do a remake of He-man. And call it She-man.

Don't look up what He means in Thai.

Yeah I'll pass on any sort of remake or remaster of anymore of my favorite childhood movies. They just ruin it every single time. They either just make an all around inferior version of the movie, or they ruin it by injecting modern politics into it. No wants to see transgendered Woody, or gender swapped Buzz Lightyear

First they came for the videogames, and I said nothing because I wasn't a gamer
