I think it's great we're developing this capability, but I prefer the original-- we're seeing the film as it was originally seen then. The captured scene isn't made better by higher fidelity, it's the opposite for me.

As with most advancements in technology and art, we'll see a proliferation of people using the new technique with mixed results at first. It's the shiny new toy. Then over time, people will figure out how to use it and apply it with intent.

The upscaling projects we've seen in gaming have generally produced spectacular results, probably because the intent in gaming graphics has always been for the sort of pixel density we're finally able to start achieving. Remember the huge disparity between the box art and the game? lol.

Gaming aside, I don't think we've left the toy phase just yet.
