- joshvm 11y agoI hate this trend, it's almost impossible to unsee it in modern sci fi movies (e.g. anything Marvel churns out). It's almost at the point where I lose respect for a movie when I see that kind of grading being used. A notable exception is the Matrix which opted for a green caste specifically to highlight scenes that are in the Matrix itself.

- tudorw 11y agoNice, when used to effect it's a great thing, City Of Lost Children springs to mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaFeK5LWDxw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaFeK5LWDxw
- tudorw 11y agoI guess at some point they will release a colour profile with the movie and we can pick our own effects :)
- mortenjorck 11y agoIt's color grading for DPs who aren't good at color grading, a shortcut to something that "looks cool." Some of the best color grading I've seen in the past few years has actually been on Game of Thrones, where good color grading is used to cement the aesthetic of the show's many different locales - it's to the point now where in this season's premiere, I could tell the instant an establishing shot came on screen where the scene was taking place: "Look at those vivid greens and turquoises; we're in Dorne!" or "Misty blues and tans, must be Braavos!"
