ChristianTroy Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Just saw Star Wars Episode II in 1080i It was kinda funny, that movie looked great in SD quality but in HDTV it looks like the old Godzilla movies. There is a major difference between the cgi shots and the regular shots. Since most of the backgrounds are artificial cgi products they look kinda blurry and in the front you see the totally sharp actors. Looks really bad. You can also see when they have used a painted background! These movies haven't been produced for this quality and now they look very funny! Matrix 2 and 3 looked really mazing btw!

shygye Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Is this a HD-DVD or a standard DVD source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Shyguy on the ball! And no way to really find out They can take the original film and re-encode it, however if someone just took regulur source content and encoded it for High Def then of course it'll look shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianTroy Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Shygye I honestly don't know, it was on Pay TV. I don't know what kind of source they are using! Probably HD-DVD or Blueray. Here is a quote from the production release The Star Wars film series was shot in an original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The "original trilogy" was shot with anamorphic lenses (Episodes IV and V were shot in Panavision, while Episode VI was shot in J.D.C. scope), while Episode I was shot in Arriscope film format, and Episodes II and III were shot with Sony's CineAlta high-definition digital camera.
