Anyone go to the cinema tonight?
I dragged the other half along to see Freddie in 4K!
It was pretty good, cinema was dead... 13 people in in total... capacity was about 300.
Picture was excellent as you'd imagine... you could see film grain which wasn't a problem. The colours were the same as the DVD as far as I could tell.
The sound started off a little quiet, not sure if anyone complained but it seemed to get louder.
You could really hear the crowd at the cinema... I've only ever watched it at home on 2.0 so I don't know what its normally like on 5.1. but that was an instant note.
Also, Freddie's voice seemed lower in the mix.
All in all pretty good.
There was a group of 4 at the front, filming, taking photos of the screen and posing in front of the screen, a bit annoying, but I guess they were in the spirit of the event!
Would love to hear what others thought?
Long Live Freddie!
Would love to go see Queen Rock Montreal but the New Orleans Saints are playing football (American Football) on national TV so I won't go.
I saw QPR in Kharkov in 2008 in the theater but me and my wife were the only ones there - suspect it will be close to that this time too, even with the movie being the "real" Queen.
Saw it last night. The video quality was very good, especially the close-ups. Impressive for a 33-year-old show.
Sadly, the hideous colours haven't been modified.
Sound in the cinema was a bit quiet, too.

They have the original reels, so they can scan it in pretty much as high quality as they want.
Here's a 94 year old film looking terrific and crisp for the same reason: link

It's amazing to think they already had cameras which were capable of filming in such high quality in 1920. Yet, because of limitations due to cost and space, it's only in the 2010s that HD video recording has found its way to the masses in the form of affordable digital cameras/camera phones.
I was there. Addison, IL - Marcus Cinema.
Around 20+ people there.
Film quality was great but the audio was way WAY too low. They apparently 'tried' to turn it up a few times... they failed.
I'll watch it all again at home and have it so damn loud that I won't be able to see straight for a week.
That said, it was still great, great GREAT to see them all up on the big screen. MAN, I forgot how incredible Freddie sounded that night.
That looks incredible nearly 100yrs ago... it's better than Budapest footage haa.
The 4k version of Montreal must be for a future release, anyone own a 4k television lol
