The Blu-ray was released in 2009

Maybe that's it. I only watched it on DVD back in the day. It was grainy and everyone's faces looked plastic and uncanny. You couldn't see facial textures or wrinkles.
EDIT: Nah, the hair in the meme is feathered. Everyone's hair in the film was solid and plastic-looking. You can see in your example images that Skull's hair is one solid piece. I still think someone at least touched up the meme a bit.
Unfortunately, I do agree with you. I think the screenshot used in the meme had gone through some sort of AI upscaling. I found a Blu-ray rip of this film and skipped around to what seems to be that exact frame.
It is possible that I am just taking this still from a file that is an old rip of the film, and that these changes that we see in the meme were part of a manual remastering effort for an official tenth anniversary rerelease of the film or something. But I think your assumption of this being an AI upscaling for the sake of the meme is more likely.
EDIT: I see that there is a stereoscopic 3D version of the film available. Again, it is possible that the differences we see here are from the 3D version, but I doubt the differences between these two versions were that drastic.
EDIT: Nope, the 3D version looks just like the 2D version.
