Film Critics Pan Too Perfect 4K Restoration of True Lies Using Controversial AI
• True Lies 4K restoration uses controversial AI enhancement, looks too smooth • Restoration done by Peter Jackson's Park Row AI, makes actors look too perfect • Film critic Luke Ryan calls it "digital painting over film," says it's "fucking disgusting" • In motion, 4K version looks better than stills, but clearly altered from original 1994 film • Reminiscent of overly smooth early Blu-rays like Predator; unlikely to see new version
