Yet the way they captured and colored the scenes, was just not very interesting. I felt the practical on-set lighting was fine, no real complaints. Other scenes were so heavy with CG, the lighting people in the CG world, couldn't match the practical photography what so ever. Some scenes were so flat, it almost seemed like they weren't colored at all. This is a theater with deep rich blacks and high dynamic range color, neither one of which were present in this movie.
STAR WARS ROGUE ONE ONLINE SUB MOVIE
I saw the movie on a beautiful laser powered 4k digital cinema projector at Arclight Cinemas Hollywood. The mere thought of putting a camera on someone's shoulder is blasphemy in the world of "Star Wars". The use of "shaky-cam" hand held photography was an unwelcome sight in a "Star Wars" movie, where cameras mainly cover in medium to wide shots on a moving dolly, crane arm or steadicam. The cinematography was also very uninspiring and flat, with no life or vibrance what so ever. Even the mix had to be super "safe", which is a load of ballix. This is probably thanks to Disney not wanting general audiences complaining about how "loud" it seemed. It's like spent all their time trying to make it even, without even contemplating dynamic range. The surround mix was very flat, with only a few dynamic hits, but no crispness at all. I was shocked because John Williams had already written so much music for the franchise, all they needed to do was tweak it slightly and they would have had a pretty decent score. Even technical things like the score, were boring and uninteresting. Yes, the sets are spot-on, but they spoil them by using heavy CG which makes set extensions, ships and space battles, look like every other stupid Hollywood movie. Yes, the cast is good and strong, but they're all worthless underdeveloped characters, thrown in because they're "cool". Unlike 'The Force Awakens' which is saved by it's "classic" cast and more similarities to the world of 'Star Wars', 'Rogue One' makes some very well thought out attempts, but doesn't cash in on them. Three paragraphs could have answered all of those questions, but then they wouldn't have been able to show off the special effects wizardry. They threw that out the door, even though it COULD have told the audience what they SHOWED over the course of the first 20 minutes, which were a train wreck of back story and filler story to bring the audience up to speed.
Heck the filmmakers couldn't even be bothered to put the standard 'Star Wars' introductory story brief before the start of the movie. Still, 'Rogue One' feels more like a dumbed down 'The Force Awakens' then anything else in the franchise. Even 'The Force Awakens' was "entertaining" with far more complexity and overlapping plot lines. It's as if the filmmakers never watched a single 'Star Wars' movie and/or never understood what made them decent, even the not-so-hot prequels had their moments. Yes, there are brief cameo's with other characters, but that doesn't count. 'Rogue One' is a unique movie that fits between Episode III and Episode IV, featuring only TWO of the characters from the entire 'Star Wars' Franchise. It's as if this movie was a sequel and the previous movie had all the information we needed, yet this isn't a sequel.
All of the great and interesting dialog scenes that would have helped generate sub stories to keep the audience interested, simply didn't exist. Why? Because frankly, it's uninteresting. With that out of the way, 'Rogue One' is a poorly conceived, single plot action film that if it weren't for some good acting, decent sets/costumes and the 'Star Wars' name attached, would have bombed at the box office. What they fail to realize is the 'Star Wars' franchise is bigger then anything else they've had and it's FAN driven, so millions will go no matter how dark or dialog driven the movie is. They are a bunch of pencil pushers who are only interested in churning out one "safe" movie after the other. Disney is the wrong studio to be involved with the Star Wars franchise. :cough: Let me begin by stating the obvious. My review of ROGUE ONE: The Uninspired generic "Family Friendly" action movie.
