Release notes:You can consider this release as a kind of archival copy in a form adapted for modern TV devices. GKIDS DCP is based on the same all previously released BDs - film scanning. But in the case of DCP, we are dealing with a high-bitrate source with a CIE 1931 color space. The Rec.2020 color space can reproduce colors that cannot be shown with the Rec.709 color space. The RGB primaries used by Rec.2020 are equivalent to monochromatic light sources on the CIE 1931 spectral locus. The wavelength of the Rec.2020 primary colors is 630 nm for the red primary color, 532 nm for the green primary color, and 467 nm for the blue primary color. In coverage of the CIE 1931 color space, the Rec.2020 color space covers 75.8%, the DCI-P3 digital cinema color space covers 53.6%, the Adobe RGB color space covers 52.1%, and the Rec.709 color space covers 35.9%. Quite often DCPs are based on Rec.709 for older films. But in this case, the colors are clearly P3 and maybe even a little higher, I was not able to find out more precisely. So I decided to use the same loophole in the standards that Toho uses for its UHD BDs. It was also used by Khara studio to create Evangelion 3.0+1.11 UHD BD. SDR Rec.2020 encoding. So I converted CIE 1931 color space to Rec.2020. In addition, when dealing with such source material, I tried to preserve the grain and detail of the image as much as possible. And I got rid of the unpleasant “pulp” yellowish tint of the Rec.709 versions of this film
The final picture replicates my experience of watching this film on the big screen in the cinema. All together it looks amazing on my OLED. I doubt we’ll ever get anything better than DCP, given the aging of film and its current state in general. But maybe someday there will be a re-scan to 4K and HDR grading. Let’s see.
