I think the effects hold up reasonably well. (spoilers) - Mel Profit Jun 18, 11:50 4
- I just turned it off and my thought was that HDTV really hurts pre-digital films. - David Jun 18, 11:53 2
  - That's a good point. I did not consider HDTV as we don't have one yet. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 18, 11:55 1
    - But that's only because they are using old sources for broadcasts. If they went back to the actual film and digitized, it would be as good as anything - zork Jun 18, 11:57
- agreed -- nm - zork Jun 18, 11:52
Well, sh*t I can get right on that! -- nm - Lucas Jun 18, 11:49
I agree with the FX update. Although the exploding sub above water is still pretty cool -- nm - Inigo Jun 18, 11:46
nah, SFX like that made up a very small part of the movie. Besides, a remake would not be done as a cold war story and would suck badly. -- nm - zork Jun 18, 11:46 4
- What I'd like to see is a once a decade update for emerging SFX. With digital tech, the process is feasible. -- nm - David Jun 18, 11:48 3
  - but I don't think that running around that engine room with walkie-talkies would have helped anything -- nm - zork Jun 18, 11:51 2
    - That's the aspect that's fascinating to me. Even our current computers will look archaic a few years from now after tablets have taken over. - David Jun 18, 11:54 1
      - *takes notes for next E.T. release* -- nm - Spielberg Jun 18, 11:55
