A comment on Old photos of Bedouin nomads, 1898. Parent comment
I saw Lawrence of Arabia in its original format when the Cinerama in Seattle reopened.
Blew my mind.
Sure, I had seen it on cable and thought "meh". In its original format, it's a totally different movie.

I have no idea how 4K and CinemaScope compare.
It seems the film has been further restored since I last viewed it.
