I can assure you Mark that you are one of very few "consumers" having this discussion.

Quick question Mark, had the story been as engrossing and entertaining as the very first Pirates do you think you'd have come to the same conclusion? I wonder if sometimes it's more to do with a story's lack of originality that hurts the visuals. I found myself conscious of the fact I had the annoying glasses on because at times it just didn't feel like the film was as entertaining as it might've been compared to the original (Which I'd seen on TV a few days before).

That hurts.

When I saw Pirates 4, in 2k 2D, I just didn't recognize the Red.
To my eyes, the movies was exactly like the other 3. I must admit though... I kinda liked the movie, so I wasn't looking at the details in the picture.

I doubt that. I've read some really dumb posts here. Hell I've made quite a few.

I don't think his post is ignorant at all. It's just a very unpopular opinion (especially here), but it's a very valid one. This is an opinion that is shared by many people in the industry all over the world. If not film, then Alexa. Red still has huge uphill battle to gain legitimacy in the eyes of all professionals. Some people still think it over heats, isn't really 4K etc.

Okay, you're right. Now this is the most ignorant post I have ever read on this forum.

What is the point of this thread ? Its like walking into a bar full of Red Sox fans and declaring how terrible the Red Sox are... nothing good could come from it.

If you desire respectful discussion, you should start by being respectful. Everyone here has already heard the same film vs. digital argument over and over. Frankly, I think most people are tired of it. Its been settled already. If you think film is better, than you are right. If you think digital is better, you are also right. If you think they are so close that 99% of the people can't tell the difference, then you actually are right No need to go back and forth with the advantages and disadvantages. No need to start threads designed to piss people off. Certainly no need to imply that Dariusz Wolski doesn't know which format will be best for his films.

Well said, Clint.
