Millennium in HD/upscale

It’s Halloween! Another #Millennium-related update, this time on the series’ *other* #Halloween-themed episode: “The Curse of Frank Black”. Millennium is available only on DVD, and it’s getting difficult to find them for new fans (if new fans have a DVD player to begin with). Now, a fan is upscaling it into HD. Is this legal? Well, considering how difficult it is to find MM legally these days…let’s say this is a one-off. Disney/Fox should rescue this show from oblivion.

In the link below you will find a link to download “Curse” in HD — it’s just A Click To Save the file… Warning: it’s a 2.5 Gb file! Here are some HD/SD comparisons. It’s not the best upscale quality work but it is still an improvement. The photography of that show was sumptuous and the DVDs rendered that quite well already.

Harsh Realm in HD

HARSH REALM in HD! Chris Carter’s short-lived show (aired during season 7 of #TheXFiles) is only available in a standard definition DVD, and that is unlikely to change. However, ironically, thanks to AI algorithms, a fan remastered it entirely in HD (upscale, colour balances, cleaning). The result is impressive. Treat yourself to some of the best things Ten Thirteen did — in particular the first three episodes are like an extended pilot. 25 years later, #HarshRealm proves to be very prescient and I think it would become a huge success would it be made today.

Here are some HD/SD comparisons. The whole 9 episodes are on YouTube:

As the YouTube filter let this through and the uploader is not monetizing it (so no ads), this is actually legal until removed.
