David Fincher’s classic thriller Seven (or, as it appears on screen, SE7EN) has been remastered in 4k and rereleased in IMAX cinemas. Fincher made dozens of digital tweaks to the film during the remastering process, most notably (and unfortunately) adding CGI clouds to shots of the sky throughout the final sequence.
The IMAX presentation maintains the film’s original aspect ratio, thus preserving Fincher’s superb widescreen framing. Curiously, one alteration to the original version is unique to IMAX: the musical score during the arrest scene has been completely removed. The music is present in the restored 4k edition, and in all previous releases, though it’s absent from the IMAX version.
