Why is this movie so bright?!


It's so unnatural! You need sunglasses! I guess it's to make up for the utter hollowness of the script and story.

You thought it was bright?

I thought it had a very bland pallatte and an absence of anything resembling natural light - that the cinematography was as dull as the script.

I never noticed: I was constantly distracted by much worse problems.

I never noticed that problem.

It does have higher contrast but that's probably due to being completely digital. 4k. And boosting the contrast and sharpness to make up for the use of 3D glasses which dim everything.

Ha! I agree that the color saturation seemed a bit too intense compared to LOTR. BOFA's battle scenes was cartoonishly unreal.

Even compared to the other Hobbit movies, this one looks so...off. And bright, but in a bland way.
