Recently I stumbled upon a 70mm blow up version of the Blade Runner movie. Quality was awesome, it had both high resolution and a little bit of noise, giving the picture it's "warmth", so to speak.
Now, few days ago, when I saw that quality, I decided to see for myself how do those super HD movies look, because to tell you the truth - I don't have blu ray player at home so I'm not that much into those high res movies.
The movie I've obtained is Road Warrior. MKV file, 720p, MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x544, for the nerds
I must say - I am disappointed. It looks too perfect. It looks like some documentary. I don't know if it varies from movie to movie, it probably does, but this one, I don't know, really kills the feel of the movie. But, then again, maybe it's just me.
So - what is exactly a blow up? High quality? What was the purpose doing blow ups back then when they didn't have HD tv's? And can it be blown up more? If it can go from 35 to 70, can it go to 140mm? ...140 mm?

Even 35mm film has higher resolution than HDTV. What you are downloading is probably 1080p Blu-ray downsized to 720p MKV. -
