The AI upscaled 4K UHD version of Aliens is freakin' amazing.

I know the main complaint with upscaling older movies is that it can remove most of the film grain and that can give people a waxy, mannequin like look. But they really found a nice balance in Aliens.

I watched the non-UHD a few months ago and just recently saw the 4K version and the difference was pretty stark.



What? I have both discs and I hate how the 4K looks. Overly smooth, and edge ringing artifacts everywhere...


I guess a lot of it just comes down to preference but I love the way it looks.

I think HD Blu-ray was good and I didn't have any complaints but the 4K version looks much better to me. I also watched it on a projector with an 120 inch screen which I think benefits a lot from the increased resolution.
