As if it weren't cool enough that there exists a smiley-face bird...

2001: The Way Kubrick Intended - Restoration Comparison


I don't understand. Is that video stating that the Blu-ray or the unrestored trailer is the way that Kubrick intended it?

Either way, the unrestored trailer looks vastly inferior to me. That type of hideous blanket tint is one of my cinematic pet peeves.

The unrestored trailer is the intended.

I would not call the unrestored a "blanket tint" at all. The blu-ray  compensated too much by trying to get it into neutral colors. The whites and blacks in the blu-ray are showing far too red.

I prefer the color in the unrestored trailer.

It varies between shots, but I mostly prefer the blu ray.

As stated by Nolan himself, this 70mm print is made from the original camera negative with no digital enhancement.

I gather that new print and the trailer are developed on celluloid from originalest of originals as it is,
which arguably carry Kubrick's artistic intention regarding color as shown from the print,
that would precede any kind of hypes of blankets and whatnot.

I just found the comparison interesting.

But aren't original prints often degraded to the point that they look drastically different from how they did when new? Is there any way to know whether the unrestored version looks even remotely similar, color-wise, to how it did in 1968?

Yes, color shift can happen for sure, but it's unlikely that it shifted in a way that would result in the tones present on the unrestored print. 

The unrestored print isn't perfect, but I would bet it is a lot closer to what Kubrick had intended than the Blu-ray regrade (which is pushed too far, imo). Something in-between the two, leaning more toward the trailer print, would be optimal.

You always know that the shots in 2001 where created with rotating sets and simple yet genius tricks but to actually have the effect demonstrated side-by-side like this is mind-blowing. The precision timing of the switch is almost seamless even when you look for it:

Here's a well made retrospective about the Adventure game genre, and one of its most beloved and influential series:

not putting this in the music section because it’s more about the marriage of the music and the hypnotic visuals.
it’s kind of meditative.
