It does reduce their ability to create false images that no one would
ever experience in real life. :)

My problem with film is that it just has so much noise. The conversion
process itself, I'm sure, adds even more. Not only does this noise take the
place of real content, it also is extremely hard to compress. The real issue
that that directors still have this love affair with film, and are unwilling
to move to a pure digital HD camera setup as they somehow feel it reduces
their creative ability.
For that reason, IMO, the most impressive HD you see is usually OTA network
television.
There are a few movies that were shot digitally. It's funny
though--sometimes they actually add noise just because audiences seem
accustomed to seeing it.

Shot "in HD" doesn't really mean anything beyond "wasn't shot with a
crappy camcorder"
film resolution is a lot higher (depending on grain level) than Blu-Ray
or HD-DVD, and digital equipment used for filmmaking has been that sort
of level and up from day one.
imagine how horrible NTSC res footage would look on a cinema scale
projector. ugh.

So it is real, as good as if it were shot HD? It is not just some
kind of rendering?

Movies shot on film are simply rescanned frame by frame at a higher
resolution, just about anything shot digitally is shot at a minimum of
1920x1080 (Phantom Menace was shot at that res as I recall)
And of course, anything CG can be arbitrarily rerendered at whatever
resolution is desired.
That was the plan for Babylon 5, except someone lost the
mesh/texture/scene files to rerender it in lightwave :/

Here is something I don't get. How can they take a movie, like the
Lord of the Rings, before HD and blue-ray were in use and then turn it
into a blu-ray movie. Don't you need special HD cameras to make a HD
movie?
