There’s always someone who dares to be completely and ridiculously wrong (on Project Hail Mary)

@IMAO_ Dune got IMAX exclusivity. Makes sense to try for a week, if you can.

@neontaster I really liked Sixth of the Dusk when I read it a few years ago. Hope to get on that soon.

Currently reading Sanderson’s Isles of the Emberdark. If you’re not up on your Cosmere lore, a lot of this book will go right over your head, but I guess it’s one of those books that is explicitly Cosmere connective tissue. I’m enjoying it.

@RealSeabiscuit1 @anishmoonka Kaleidescape is the most uncompressed way of viewing a film at home, but I’ll attach a comparison to a DCP to this. Endgame was a 223GB DCP, the max file size on Kaleidescape for Endgame is 110.7GB (Still an improvement over the 4K disc in terms of bitrate).

@anishmoonka And even Blu-ray has compression, as far as I know Kaleidoscope is the only way to get the uncompressed files. Those 70GB blu-rays are like 120+ on Kaleidoscope.

Your Netflix "4K" stream and a 4K disc put the same number of pixels on your screen. But the disc version of a two-hour movie is about 70 gigabytes. The stream is about 14. Same pixels, roughly five times less data filling them. You see it first in dark scenes. The stream doesn't have enough data to tell dark grey from black, so your TV just mashes it all into chunky blocks. Then you notice sunsets looking like a paint-by-numbers, with visible stripes where smooth color should be. Film grain is probably the biggest casualty. Directors add that slightly textured look on purpose to make movies feel cinematic. Streaming compression reads it as noise and wipes it. That's where the weirdly plastic, waxy look on a good OLED comes from. One comparison I can't stop thinking about. A regular 1080p Blu-ray (the older HD format, not even 4K) pushes about 40 megabits of data per second to fill 2 million pixels. A 4K stream pushes 15-25 to fill 8 million pixels. Four times the pixels. Less data. A plain HD disc from 2008 can look sharper than a brand new 4K stream. Sound is worse. Netflix sends "Dolby Atmos" audio at about 768 kilobits per second, compressed, with parts of the original permanently deleted. A disc sends TrueHD Atmos at up to 18,000, lossless, nothing removed. Up to 23x more sound data. If dialogue sounds flat when you're streaming, that's not your speakers. Netflix is getting better at this. As of late 2025, 30% of their streaming runs on a newer compression method called AV1, the same picture at a third less data. They also strip film grain out before compressing, then rebuild it on your TV during playback. Saves over a third on file size for most content, and up to two-thirds for really grainy movies. The rebuilt grain looks solid. The tradeoff won't go away, though. Netflix has to deliver a file that works over spotty rural Wi-Fi and gigabit fiber, adjusting quality frame by frame to whatever your connection can handle. A disc reads plastic. Same quality every time.

Getting a 4K player and an OLED really opens your eyes to how streaming services just completely butcher movies with compression lol

@politicalmath This is dumb. They should just adapt Weir’s Artemis instead. It wasn’t quite as good as The Martian and Project Hail Mary but still a great science fiction story.

@Cryptic4KQual So close to getting his line right. How did this high quality of a leak, straight from a camera get out?

@seminole4life22 Selfishly, It’s necessary for books 4-7. But yeah books 1-3 were pretty much the adaptations I’d want. Even movies 4-8 were good, I just always wanted expanded versions.

@IMAO_ People want prestige TV with big budgets. Network TV worked on much tighter budgets.

@Susie487 I don’t think it has to be. It looks good to me in Mando Season 1 & The Batman (2022).

@FormerlyCBM If Doomsday moves they actually get a week in IMAX. I would rather that happen selfishly

@DuvalNole On the other hand, getting Doomsday in IMAX for a week would be nice.

@NextBestPicture I would add Cinematography. Greig Fraser seems well respected within his branch and he does great work on this film.

@IMAO_ Ticket prices have kept up with inflation for standard screens. Premium large formats are more but the avg ticket price has stayed with inflation.

My sense is that movie theater concessions are just as ridiculously priced as they always were (if you adjust for inflation), but ticket prices have gone up faster than inflation. Two tickets at a regular theater cost more than $30 to see Project Hail Mary.
