Basic Attendance
: A massive portion of Prometheus takes place inside the dimly lit, subterranean tunnels of LV-223. On a compressed stream, these dark scenes suffer from "color banding" (visible rings in gradients of darkness) and macroblocking (pixelated squares in the shadows). The REMUX retains perfectly smooth gradients and pristine shadow delineation.
. Here is a breakdown of what those technical specifications mean for the viewing experience: Technical Breakdown
For Prometheus , a film with pervasive film grain (shot on 35mm Kodak film stock), a low-bitrate encode can cause the grain to become a blocky mess. The REMUX preserves the grain structure exactly as intended, giving the image an organic, cinematic texture.
