Have you seen it projected digitally or in 35mm? I'd love to know what difference it makes, if any.

Ive seen 2 70mm films now, and they pretty much looks like 4K, maybe even better, but with little film imperfections like spots and "cigarette burns".

But The Master looked so amazing, I find it hard to believe a blu ray could ever replicate that perfect picture quality.

If you get the chance to see it in 70mm ever, it's a must see.

Also on a slightly related note, Samsara looks bloody amazing! Can't wait to see that later, but it's in 4K, unlike Baraka, which my theater has on every 3 months in 70mm

I haven't seen Samsara, but it's a film I really want to watch as Baraka, Chronos and Koyaanisqatsi are stunning.

Shamefully, I've only seen Koyaanisqatsi. But I was just watching some bits from Baraka, and the new double pack with Samsara has gone straight to the top of the to buy list!

I thought Sommers first Mummy film was great fun, really entertaining. The second one much less so though. The third was ok.

Indeed, although I also think some of the Hammer mummy films have some nice 'museum quality' mummy effects in them

What annoys me about the Universal film is they have the best mummy by a mile, but the creature is only in it for basically seconds at the start of the film. WTF's all that about?

Its not really annoying by the way. Its a great film.

Probably the costume wasn't too practical
