With everyone complaining about the lighting, I think it’s genuinely a misunderstanding. The lighting is fine! The grade is super flat. Wonder if any movie ever has updated its grade mid-screenings or if that would be too costly to re-distribute.

In general, No. Sending out DCPs is expensive and time consuming. If all theaters were on DCDC, it could be possible? But usually, an encrypted drive is delivered to a multiplex, then put on a central server, then distributed to local, encrypted, RAIDs in the projectors.

Thank you - this is the answer I was looking for. I’m not sure how many theaters have done away with DCPs, but I remember back when I worked at Paramount Post Production in 2012 - the physical aspects of distribution were a costly nightmare.

agreed, like basic correction/ colour matching was complete but the grade was never finished. I suppose when it's released for home viewing you could regrade it yourself for funsies! 🌈

I’m actually not critiquing the grade. I’m simply pointing out that it is super flat.

We need to bring back Technicolor.

Yeah it looks barely like 709. When the willow show came out, it was a similar situation, grade was super flat. Idk what the deal is, you'd think for a film this size they'd spend the proper time on that.

Oh they definitely spent the proper time. It was Company 3, after all. It was a choice they made on purpose. Just one that the majority of the audience (from what I’m reading) disagrees with.

I agree. Lighting was never the issue. Colour grade could have looked more like technicolour/saturated and bold as an homage to WoO

This was always my main issue with Captain America: Civil War as well. But I think this might even look flatter, espeically since the movie is generally trying to be more colorful than Civil War.

Saw it in IMAX & it looked fine. Not as saturated as everyone wants it to be, but I personally think they're just trying to go for a more realistic lived-in look. If we're to believe Oz is a real place w/ history, colors fade & weather, not everything can be vibrant & look new.
