...in your opinion. Not in mine. As I previously said; I felt that the footage looked very uncinematic,
in my opinion. Obviously your millage may vary.
Quote from: SiL on May 19, 2022, 10:46:11 PM"The cinematography" is so uselessly vague as a reason. What about it is direct to video?
The heavy orange on the colour grade is the only thing that makes any of it look cheap to me, like they just cranked the temperature for a golden hour glow, but I've seen worse in cinema.
I can throw all the technical jargon in the world your way and it's not going to convince you of seeing something that you can't see, nor would I care to. Equally, nothing you say is going to invalidate my own subjective response. It's a response I had. It happened. It is valid, by mere virtue of the thought entering my mind. You can't say
"something in your brain made you think that the footage looked like a straight-to-streaming film. Your brain is wrong and you imagined that you thought that because it's just not possible." Your mind is not my own. I think what I think and my opinion is as valid as your own. You seem to be struggling to appreciate that not everyone thinks the same way as yourself, or has the same reactions to stimuli.
It also bears repeating that this is literally a straight-to-streaming film, so it seems daft to say that there's no possible way that this literal thing looks like said literal thing.
