The restoration:
The original 35mm negative was scanned and then restored in 4k at Deluxe L.A., under the supervision of Geoff Burdick from Light storm. The film was calibrated in 4k by Skip, James Cameron’s colorist, at Technicolor Hollywood, with a selection of the best 35mm prints from the film’s first release. The film was then converted into 3D by Stereo D (Star Wars, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Jurassic world).
This work lasted almost a year and was monitored daily by Light storm’s teams, to produce a high-end 3D version at the level of the latest 3D releases from U.S. Studios. The 3D version then benefited from a calibration and a specific finish at Technicolor Hollywood, still under the supervision of Skip and James Cameron himself.
The restoration project was initiated by Light storm (lei), James Cameron’s production company, DMG Entertainment and STUDIOCANAL. James Cameron’s team oversaw this 3D conversion from start to finish. This highly experienced and award-winning team had already supervised Titanic‘s 3D conversion and is currently working on the Avatar sequels.

Fuck extras. They should be doing all 3 cuts in 4K. Funny they don’t address that point. Have they really not heard all the negativity about the 4K release only having the theatrical cut in 4K?
Could not give less of a fuck about the extended version in 4K. The theatrical cut is the director’s cut, as well as my preferred version.
Well, some of us prefer to watch ALL of the movie, and could give a fuck less about the director or his cut, especially since the bastard still refuses to approve transfers of Abyss and True Lies for BD release after all these goddamn years.
I can’t stand people like you. You got the cut you like, so to hell with everyone else. It’s fucking lazy to only release one of the 3 cuts in 4K. Plain and simple.
