I’d like to see rolling data on how people are turning away from lower quality media. Or what premium is being placed on 720p+ video versus standard.

There’s a reason video sites offer a filter for HD and YouTube videos get keyword stuffed for 8k even when they aren’t.

I am very curious how Apple’s spatial video lands.

From reviewer descriptions, the experience is such a major change from standard HD video I am wondering if depthscaling “old” video will become a thing too.

Personally, I find the constant breaking of the flow in a silent movie so the dialog card can be shown very irritating after a while. It's also annoying that the card is shown for too long (for slow readers) and there's a fair amount of dialog you can lip read that is not on the cards.

I seriously doubt dialog cards are part of any director's "vision".

The bad music slapped on the DVDs is also a serious turnoff. Music easily makes or breaks a movie. For example, the music on Lord of the Rings adds greatly to my enjoyment of it. The Hobbit music is utterly forgettable, and makes the poor movie even worse.

For another example, the movie "Hawaii" has a most excellent music soundtrack. Its sequel, "The Hawaiians", has a completely forgettable soundtrack, which contributes to the movie falling flat on its face.

I suspect much of "Star Wars" success came from the music.
