Holy shit that recolorization.
i wonder how ill be able to see it in the US, theatrical release only seems to be limited and in the UK.
also curious what camp of the historigraphy Jackson is going to fall into, this could either really help or really hurt the work that's been done over the last 30 years in terms of looking back at the conclusions of the 1960s and going "huh, these actually don't seem all that right".
Is just me, or do the tanks look like bad 2D animation at the start?
The team said they converted the footage to 3D so that might be one of the side effects.
I think it's just how the colorization is done, some of the dirt looks very evenly colored for example.
It's hard to believe footage that crisp is actually over a hundred years old. Technology is nuts and I wish we'd start colorizing all the B&W footage we still have while we still have it.

It's because they had to interpolate the frames. There wasn't 24FPS to work with.
So it's like Apocalypse: WW1? But prettier.
Really hope this sees a US release. I'd love a chance to see it on a big screen.
And probably Commonwealth centric, but the incredible restoration work makes up for the lack of originality I guess?
I hope it leans towards more modern historiography than Apocalypse did. One of the sticklers for me with Apocalypse was saying that Falkenhyn intended to "bleed the French white" at Verdun. This claim is in doubt these days as it is now believed that it was post-war posturing by Faleknhyn to not make himself seem as big of a failure. Here's hoping that Peter Jackson has done his research.
