Framerate


Is it just me or do certain scenes in the movie seem like they drop in frame rate? I don't know if this is a camera trick or not but it's really annoying and stupid. I am streaming from Netflix so I don't know if it is them or not. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes! I'm watching it right now and came on here to see if there was a discussion about that. It's kind of distracting.

Yeah, at first I thought it was my crappy computer, but I guess not. Goofy. Maybe they used some of digital storage for post-production, and ran out of hard drive space? :)

It is annoying.

watched for a little while before skipping strait to the end....

yeah, someone messed up bad. choppy frames for slo-mo effect is one thing, but this seems like it is on ONE of the cameras and not the other. I doubt they would ADD that effect in post production editing and effects, because it would be stupid.

BUT, if one of the initial cameras was set wrong to begin with, like 15 frames per second or 20, or 12, rather than the standard 24 (or 25 or 30), it would look exactly like that and not be fixable easily or cheap in 2001. They shot it wrong, can't fix due to no budget and it is done.

I'm sure someone is pissed about it. And I seriously doubt anyone from the production would step forward and explain the fault - as nobody cares now.
