Avatar and Titanic are returning to theaters, and they are expected to look better than ever.

I... I GUESS I get it for Avatar... experimenting with AI on Digital assets is fun...

But for Titanic? The REASON Titanic was a billion dollar+ movie was because of all of the ladies seeing the tragic love story a bazillion freaking times. It was NOT for the amazing high speed special effects.

It's just a marketing ploy to play on all that nostalgia and give people a reason to go back into the theater to watch it again.

Yeah, the movie wasn't meant for it, but it wouldn't get nearly as much in ticket sales if they didn't have some gimmick to make you want to go back and pay for another ticket.
 
People bitched when Peter Jackson did The Hobbit at 48 fps because it didn't look "film like". As if a 100+ year old tech limitation (24 fps) is the gold standard of video reproduction. Maybe we should get rid of the soundtrack because "talkies" aren't true to the cinematic experience.
