Ebert said that they were the same, but the digital showings are less
blurry.

I though that AotC was noticably blurry in spots, and there was a
tremendous amount of visual noise.  Whether it was real film noise,
CCD noise (except I think it was shot with CMOS cameras, and I don't
know if they have noise), or digitally added noise, I don't know.
But, if the digital projects are so much better as Ebert says, one
does have to wonder if the film version was sabotaged as Ebert
suggests.  I prefer to think of it as cheapness or penny pinching, but
anyway you look at it, it sucks.
