Raygun Gothic

Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. "A tomorrow that never was". The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.

I've never seen this. Any good?

I loved it as kid. I can’t see the real advantage of the high definition. Will we be able to see the flaws in the models better or is that the point of the restoration to hide all that imperfection?
