    Showing my age, I guess, but I’ve yet to see a 4K restoration of a classic film that didn’t look jarring and fake. Completely ruins the look of an older movie.

        4k looks awful. Just across the board bad. Actors look too smooth, the motion is off. Makes a film look like a video game and not a movie.

          I think you might be talking about the frames per second (fps) and not the 4k resolution. The higher resolution makes the picture clearer, higher frame frequency increases motion smoothness and reduces motion blurring.
