    And looks objectively terrible compared to basically ANY major motion picture released this year (perhaps just short of the great film but terribly-lit “Rob Peace”).

    I was flabbergasted that such horrifically flat lighting and incredibly dismal/uninspired camera work didn’t trigger any reshoots (particularly with the $150 million budget they had and, as a consequence, the equipment they had at their disposal.)

        They could have shot it on a potato and most people wouldn’t have noticed.

        I’m probably not most people since I do this professionally.

      Maybe your theater didn’t illuminate it correctly? I saw it twice, both IMAX and non-IMAX and it looked incredible both times

        I used to be a projectionist.

        The projector was fine.

        There are articles with the cinematographer about how they deliberately made everything grey.

    The amount of marketing for this movie makes me not want to watch it. Tbh I was never going to watch it in a theatre anyway. Would you guys recommend it to a non Disney fan? I’ve been watching all major 2024 releases digitally, so I was wondering.
