$4.05 Billion was the sale price.
Yeah, that shot always looked wrong to me, as it was featured in the trailers. I think what is wrong with it is that it’s a large ship moving fast, but in the crash sequence, it’s almost moving too fast relative to the background. Imagine a 747 in the sky - it’s moving fast, but because it’s so big, it doesn’t appear to be moving that fast to your eye. It almost looks like it’s moving in slow-mo. So, to sell the size and weight of the ship, they should have slowed that shot waaaaaaay down.
😂- well played, sir.
Agreed, and well-said. I think most people know inherently that they are just ticking diversity boxes, and it’s a turnoff. So even if they were to write the next Alien and cast a black Ripley, we’d still stay away, because Hollywood has lost all credibility. They must slowly rebuild trust with the audience at this point.
The problem isn’t the diversity, it’s the writing that prioritizes diversity over story. A well-written and crafted show can star any competent actor and work. This is just poor craftsmanship from the top-down: bad writing, directing, poor sets, poor acting, awful dialogue. It just doesn’t work on any level, and casting a white-as-snow male cast wouldn’t improve anything about it.
The ice planet set looked horribly bad, as well as the forest shots. The crash sequence somehow looked like a miniature, even though it was CGI. As mentioned, the wardrobe in general looked too clean and not ‘lived in’. This has been a problem on all Disney-fare except Andor - which looked like a lived-in galaxy.
By a 3-inch dagger no less. Disney Star Wars is an absolute joke.
RT is irrelevant.
Agreed. I kept waiting for it to end, but it just kept going. Could have used another round of editing.
1.) Film was, and still is, shot at 24fps. The only outlier (that I know of) was The Hobbit, which was shot at 60fps at 4k, and was shown on select screens at that format.
2.) All still done today. There are some full CG shots, but there is plenty of reference to work from. On a side note, we’re not called ‘graphic designers’ - that’s a term used for 2d stills - print/web work. The correct term is visual effects artists.
3.) This is all true. The post-production schedule has become more and more compressed, and that is causing some films to look sub-standard - absolutely.
