      Which I why I prefer the magnificent seven. Seven samurai is a great movie, but it just drags in a lot of places.

    Ooooo

    The 4K restoration debuted at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. In New York, the movie opens at Film Forum on July 5th; in Los Angeles, the premiere will be on July 7th at the Egyptian Theatre, with an opening at Laemmle Royal to follow on July 12th.

    Oh. 😕

    Showing my age, I guess, but I’ve yet to see a 4K restoration of a classic film that didn’t look jarring and fake. Completely ruins the look of an older movie.

        4k looks awful. Just across the board bad. Actors look too smooth, the motion is off. Makes a film look like a video game and not a movie.

          I think you might be talking about the frames per second (fps) and not the 4k resolution. The higher resolution makes the picture clearer, higher frame frequency increases motion smoothness and reduces motion blurring.
