It's not really that unlikely. Most films render at 2k DCI. It's not so much that the software and hardware can't render higher, it's just diminishing gains for the increased render time.
Most 4k films till very recently actually have the digital elements at 2k DCI-ish resolutions and are upscaled. I can't speak to wether soul is rendered at 2k or 4k, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was 2k upscaled.
- rperez333 6y agoThat's more accurate, Soul was probably rendered at 2k, as most of their movies. If a shot doesn't look good enough when upscaled, they re-render in 4k. Actually, they used to upscale most of the movies using Nuke, but recently, started using deep learning for that.
