I can understand how movies can be released at higher resolutions a short time after original release, like a couple years. But I’ve seen some movies get released a whole decade later in *MUCH* higher quality than the original release. Like, how does something released in the 90’s or 2000’s get a 4k UltraHD release now?

* Here it seems you are forgetting that the actual “original release” for movies is in a proper theater.
* Movie theaters have been using higher quality projection and sound reproduction than you could get at home *for decades*.
* What’s happening is that the quality of home viewing for movies is slowly catching up with movie theaters (at least in terms of visual quality).
* So the original, high quality capture of the film is simply being converted to a higher quality home format that it previously was.
* Yes this even includes movies shot on 35mm or 70 mm file from *decades* ago.
