The same is also true for audio, but the ability to capture video data has outpaced the ability to process that data and display it. In the case of video, 35mm film has a roughly 11880 x 7322 resolution in an ideal scenario. With film in excellent shape and proper processing, remasters can be done with excellent quality.

Post production

Even if filmed in 35mm, the movie is digitized and post processed digitally

It gets color corrected and adjusted in a number of ways
