Wally is a hack... Deakins is much better.

That makes two of us. However, you must praise it for it's film making on a whole. It's digital image is pristine.

Shitting on the social network is a very poor use of your 500th post.

Hated it or not, the cinematography is gorgeous, are you disagreeing?

Cinematography isn't necessarily what I had a problem with. It was shot on digital cameras and I didn't like about it, but that doesn't affect whether or not they set up the shots well (which they did) But it still didn't make up for its other shortcomings.

you aren't listening. The image itself is gorgeous in my opinion. Do you disagree?

MW715 is going full retard in this thread.

I thought that it was the best I'd seen out of digital, yes I'd agree with that.

Then you haven't seen digital. Red One MX ain't the best man...

It still doesn't compare to real film. Look at films that have been shot digitally just from this year like: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Captain America, Pirates 4. The difference may be subtle, but there is definately a difference. Using film is much more work, but it simply produces a better result. The digital revolution has opened new doors and made filmaking easier; but in doing so has given filmakers reason not to try anymore. The entire quality of movies is substandard to what it was a decade ago, not just in cinematography, but in writing, use of visual effects, acting, directly. It's rare that you find people as old fashoned as Wally and Chris who put forth the effort to do things for real, like they used to be done.
