MST-HD Remaster Project Vol. 1: Godzilla vs The Sea Monster, The

This edit goes above and beyond restoring a classic episode of MST3K. I have never seen the host segments look so good even on their official dvds. The movie itself looked amazing. It was such a wonderful experience to watch an old favorite episode with an actual HD movie. Watching the movie in widescreen really helps to give it a modern experience and I didn't even notice the transitions between widescreen and full screen when entering and exiting the theater. The surgically enhanced episodes MST3K has been creating are amazing, but this is a better experience in my opinion. Amazing work! Hoping your make more!

Amazing and important preservation by SeaCom! I'm hoping (and guessing it will) be very inspirational to other MST3K preservationists.

I've wanted a project to exist like this for a very long time. I even made my own attempt at one point but never completed it. This is so enjoyable to experience. A must watch for MST3K Lovers. Same Jokes. Same Pacing. But all in HD. The Theater curtains were the only thing I feel didn't quite fit BUT I completely understand why they had to be put in place to cover the transition of Joel and the Bots walking into the theater. It also felt a tad squished because of the widescreen/shadowrama having to fit that aspect ratio, but again it had to be done to make this work at all. 10/10 overall. Hope they do many more in the future.

This was so good, I did a comparison segment on video, just so you can see the improvement:

The original is washed-out, vhs-quality in the film portion, but this one just POPS, it's soo good! This is a fantastic improvement on the original. This FULLY replaces the original. It's the same content, but in full high-definition glory.

And I LOVE the theater curtains! Nice touch!

NOTE: because the movie is presented in full widescreen, with black bars on top and bottom, the host segments are presented within the screen ratio, so they are a bit smaller than my original "full-screen" version. This took a little bit of getting used to, but I understand why the faneditor did this and will not complain.

I am going to keep it very short: This is EVERYTHING you could want in making the old episodes of MST look as good as they possibly can. And the switching from HD movie aspect ratio back to host segment aspect ratio almost feels like the sort of thing Joel would have done on purpose just to keep the SOL feeling lo-tech. (and also because Joel is weird and does odd nonsensical things, The switch and transitions are not a distraction) All the necessary changes here work, and I am excited about whatever comes next in this project!
