Worst looking/sounding sci-fi movie ive seen

It hasn't aged too well. Good in it's time though, 'shame on spielberg' is a bit much.


...then whoa, differences...

I just saw it again after many years. I still liked it and think it holds up. Spielberg completed this not long after completing A.I. which started as a Kubrick production. The harsh whites and sterile feel are definitely Kubrick influenced as you almost think it is a Kubrick film.

It's not a "filter effect". This isn't Instagram. The look was achieved by bleaching the actual film. I have it on Blu-Ray and it's great.

The way it looks is one of the biggest reasons why I think this film still holds up incredibly well. That "effect" they used for it does look overdone, but nevertheless it's visually pleasing imo.

Williams' music sure feels/sounds out of place in many scenes, I'll give you that.
