Got to admit, I turned over when I watched it, because it wasn't the colour-remake that I thought it was, but that comment of yours suggested it was.
Yes, first fifteen minutes was black and white. When the boys arrive on the front line, the restored footage begins. The resolution gets better, color is added and the speed is corrected, with audio added in post from accurate WWI replicas.After the credits, there is an extra 20 minutes detailing the restoration process, it is very time intensive but I believe after the documentary came out they were able to secure money to restore the entire archive. What is shown in the movie is what they could restore in 3-4 years.
