Sigh. I thought this stupid fad was left behind in 2008?
shareColors are fads? LOL. You obviously don't know much about art. Bad artists can't ruin colors for other artists by abusing them. That's stupid.
shareUnfortunately it is here to stay, just like ZERO DETAIL on everything thanks to digital and so many horrific things.
shareWhat do you mean by "zero detail"?

There is no such thing as skin texture in films anymore, or pretty much texture to anything. Digital has no detail, and on top of that you have the digital retouching done on post production, so everything has been lost thanks to digital.
shareOh you mean like skin and clothes and stuff look less detailed when shot with digital? or just specifically CGI stuff?

It looks way less detailed in both.
shareI think I agree.

Yes, recently I've been downloading several old movies in blu ray and the level of texture and detail in everything is ASTONISHING and most definitely not comparable to digital. Digital doesn't even come close. The sad thing is that, a lot of films today are still shot on digital but because of all the digital post processing and digital color toning they just look like digital films. Whoever says anything digital is better to analogue is delusional in my opinion.
shareDigital works for some I imagine. But it's too plasticky for me.

I agree OP.
Deakins is a great D.P, but even he has succumbed to this lame style lately.
Orange, teal and yellow are so present in movies today that it makes me sick. It always looks generic.

True, but then again if he's using teal and orange filters, then it's almost the same thing, and can still look a little generic.
This is one of the reasons I disliked Ridley's director's cut of Blade Runner, because he went back in and tinted everything in teal. Crazy mindset these days.
Blade Runner has always been Teal and Orange. It could be argued that it invented the look.
shareNo. It was dark blue. Not teal and orange
shareNone of these screenshots are from the Final Cut: https://s29.postimg.org/n9pbofypj/image.png
The Final Cut may have been digitally colour graded, but it built on colours that were already used liberally throughout the film.
Well, to be fair, Deakins pretty much popularized digital color grading by grading the hell out of O Brother Where Are Thou?, one of the few films by the Coens I never connected with.
That said, people who don't understand the prevalence of teal and orange are simply ignorant of color theory and should educate themselves before attacking world-famous artists who know hundreds of times more about the craft. This is audience ignorance at it's worst - trying to take two colors off an artists's palette because you don't like them. Teal and orange were not paired together arbitrarily and it remained popular because it worked.
Teal-orange haters should be embarrassed to have such ignorant opinions. Truly. It would be laughable if this insanity wasn't so wide-spread amongst self-appointed movie police.
I was being more or less polite in OP, but reading some of these idiotic comments, let's get to the point: Deakins is a hack. He couldn't shoot a proper, pleasant to the eye movie if his life depended on it. It's time he retired.

The Final Cut of the old film is orange and teal too so... why not?
Blade Runner is supposed to look like that.
