I rip my physical media into my digital library and I know right away when I’m dealing with a film transfer, compression goes to shit. All the grain and noise inherent to film doesn’t compress well. So I imagine all these AI upscaled film weren’t done for our benefit but to save streamers a bit of bandwidth.
Also film was expensive, directors shot a tight 90 minute movie and called it a day. Now, we have 2,3,4 hour movies that meander endlessly.
