It's nothing specifically against Red October. It's just the nature of how quickly the technology advanced. That's why I think filmmakers should demonstrate forward thinking in this regard. Who knows where we'll be in 2020? Why not plan for that going in?

- 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
