It takes a lot of talented people to make a good film, the camera and lenses are just a small commodity part of it. Arri and RED not the only game in town anymore too, although they are still the most popular on feature films and have great colour science. This guy https://youtube.com/c/EugeneBelsky https://youtube.com/c/EugeneBelsky is shooting incredible looking HDR demos with a $6k Blackmagic Ursa 12k and $3k Zeiss Otus 55mm 1.4 - one of the sharpest lenses around. And you could get very close with a Pocket 6k and some cheaper primes. Feature films have large budgets, camera/lens cost is a drop in the ocean but it’s really not about some unattainable gear anymore.
