Why does Ocean's 11 looks better than Ocean's 12?

Discussion

Regarding the recent 4k releases. The image of the first movie looks significantly better than the second, in my opinion. Is Ocean's eleven native 4k and Ocean's twelve upscaled? That's what I thought watching it, but I couldn't find a definitive answer for it.

Looks like it was shot on 35mm film with a native 4k transfer. I don't know the specifics of it's home video transfer. Source https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0349903/technical/

Thanks

What about the other one?

I found the third one the most disappointing actually

Yep, I just watched the third one and it is by far the worst. What is the explanation? Feels like the movie was shot in 720p and applied a smooth filter over it.

Because Soderbergh shot each of them in their own distinct style, even as they’re all shot on film

You like Eleven better, I like Twelve better, some people like Thirteen better

FWIW blu-ray.com has them all listed as native 4K

11 would not have had a DI at the time, and 12 and 13 did, so it’s possible those are upscales. IMDb claims 12 has a 4K DI, but I don’t know about that.

O11 was shot on film, and to my understanding O12 and O13 were DI. When I saw the three 4K transfers on HBO Max before they landed on physical media, I felt the same way with O11 looking a lot better than O12 and O13.

Probably because Oceans 11 is the only one worth watching?
