Raw resolution isn't so much the issue as the overall feel of the image. Color is probably the biggest advantage of film over digital. But yes, you're right that the capture method is the biggest influence. And since digital is becoming the default choice even on mainstream projects, 35mm projection would eventually seem sort of silly anyway. Even Malick is shooting Alexa now! Plus there's all the 2k DI stuff that's been out there, muddying the waters even more. Nolan is one of the few with both a strong preference and the financial clout to hold on to high quality film capture, but I suspect a couple of projects down the road even he will have to give in.
