Digital cameras capture a higher dynamic range and dps/colorists seem to be more concerned with preserving that than having any drama in the image. There seems to be a fear of real contrast. When you combine that with lighting trends leaning more naturalistic things end up looking flat and dull.

[@lmfao607]

Its either too naturalistic/bright or too dark/cinematic

[@tronam]

Modern cameras have all the latitude needed to create any desired look they want, including full simulation of just about any film stock, but it seems like most modern cinematographers these days are preferring less dramatic contrast. Aesthetic tastes do change over time and they're cyclical. Just look at the era of film noir compared to much of the mainstream films released in the later 60s and 70s. Films like Jaws had pretty flat lighting through most of it, especially during the day and in interiors.

[@PauLtus_B]

One of the most insightful things I heard was from Erik Messerschmidt (it was on a Q&A for Ferrari, he's done a lot of work with Fincher). He said to effectively light a set for a digital camera you could get away with just using a candle, but lighting it like that will make a big difference in how the image ends up looking, so he generally still wants a scene to be lit like how it was done for analog. I think it's also worth checking out Steve Yedlin's analysis on why film looks like film and how to emulate it, I think he succeeded really well with Knives Out.

I don´t think, that digital is the problem. Yes, 35mm makes film look like film, but it´s expensive and giving only rich people the opportunity to try this artform doesn´t produce better cinema. Digital gave many young, poor people the instrument, to express themselves. And they create better, more nuanced stuff, than modern cinema. I think, the problem nowadays lies in the constant sequalization of movies from the past, the smartphonification of watching films on way to small screens and the lack of creativity.

They look different because the image on the right isn’t a still from the movie. It’s a production photo from the set.

[@karmicbreath]

This is all great but it's not just about the photography. It's also the screenwriting, dialogue, and acting. Look at Alien vs Prometheus, or Top Gun vs TG: Maverick. The flow of dialogue has changed. Naturalistic acting has been replaced by more staged and rigid performances. The characters in Alien looked and felt like blue collar workers. In Prometheus, Charlize Theron performed like a tragic Shakespearean figure. Also, everyman and everywoman actors have been phased out in favor of a talent pool of mostly very photogenic performers. Look at the cast of Twister vs Twisters. This all has a very strong influence on the look and feel of a movie, moreso than DI in my opinion. There are plenty of great movies shot on digital that have an old school feel. One great example is Thirteen Lives.

The #1 reason they look different is the rise of digital filters. They're a bit of a crutch. If they're having a hard time tying the CGI plates to the live-action comp plates, they just crank up the filter. It also tends to crush black levels and squeeze a lot of the color out of the shot.

Lol fair point. I think it actually doesn't matter though. What made the TNG era work so well was how much the action was fueled by a combination of imagination and suspense. Listening to the bridge crew communicate to each other about what weapons were being used and how the shields performed activated our imagination. We were going off suspense instead of visual spectacle. And it simply worked. They could have done all that with a moody and colorful look, and it still would have worked. Some of the best moments in Star Trek took place in dimly lit quarters where two characters just talked to each other like something out of The Godfather.

NOBODY really cares about a movies visual style anymore. They don't care while shooting and they care even less during post. They just color change the same flat "LOG" image they get from shooting, cropping it to this god awful modern "TV Show" Aspect Ratio that is 2,20:1 or something like and makes absolutely no sense... and they just browse through their NLE grading presets and stick with that. Everything looks boring, flat and sterile. They don't even bother properly lighting a scene. It's crazy... In the early 2000s and 2010s, when they still shot a lot on film, which has incredible dynamic range and doesn't suffer from digital "clipping" in the highlights, they used to colorgrade everything in a way to make things look cold and digital and boosting the contrast or just making everything look like going through a Bleached Bypass treatment. For "Terminator Salvation"they even actually treated the ACTUAL filmstock and didn't do it digitally. Nowdays with digital Cinecamera sensors having a pretty good dynamic range too, they seem to do everything to keep all that and avoiding contrasts at all costs. Everything looks the same... this new age of flatness it just as boring as the constant over-use of "Teal and Orange".

[@geireplekake820]

Agree! Good summary!

[@maxjax1417]

Film has great color and built in contrast. Many of today's films are in a de facto competition for highlight retention and shadow detail, thereby lowering contrast and flattening the image. You can raise contrast and color in digital, but it's still 1's and 0's. Anyone who grew up watching films shot on film can see the difference (I'll admit that difference is narrowing though). How you light on film and choose different stocks will vary these elements a bit, but there's a natural tonality (from bright to dark) and color rendition that is inherent to film (as well as mechanical shutter application in movement), which (pre-digital intermediate) was mostly baked in at the time of photography (the original Gladiator is a great example, lensed by John Mathieson). Sure, there was bleach bypass and slight temperature variations you could do in the lab, but what you shot was mostly what you got. The lighting was a key element in how the final image looked, in addition to lens aperture and focal length choices. Built into film was a great tonal curve that brought beautiful contrast (the curve from light to dark) and authentic colors that were rich and vivid. I don't care what anyone says (even the digital vs. film Steve Yedlin test), digital still cannot match film aesthetically. As far as the other elements (story, composition, editing, etc.) these remain a common fixture and an argument can be made about the quality level of those skill sets in contemporary films versus those in the past. But for visual quality alone, there is something unique about film that digital simply does not match in it's current state. This is why most of the greats (Tarantino, Spielberg, Anderson, Nolan, etc.) still shoot it, because they have a keen eye that sees the difference. Those who don't do so because the advantages of digital (ease of use, immediate dailies, security in image acquisition, etc.) offset the visual quality differences to them personally. This is a key reason stated by Deakins for why he chooses digital. However, remember that Tarantino, Spielberg and others are directors who are in charge and can decide what they are going to shoot on. Deakins as a cinematographer is a hired crew member. Sure, there are times he can apply leverage to shoot on film, but for most productions these days, he's going to be expected to shoot on digital or have to pass on a number of projects along the way. In many ways, he's force to adapt. If PT Anderson or Nolan want to shoot film, they can every time out.

Movies have always been shot in 4k (native 4k) since the 1950s and celluloid also has higher resolution than digital (equivalent to 8k).

That's why Nolan, PTA, Eggers, Guadagnino, Tarantino, Shyamalan, Spielberg, JT Mollner and Jeff Nichols still choose to shoot with celluloid today, even though it adds more expense and more shoot days to the schedule.

"Glorious 70mm!!!" -- then 90% of the film takes place indoors in a house with overhead light that looks like a UFO is above them. He's so up his own a$$, ripping off obscure films then repurposing them as his own 'snap zoom' techniques or the various spaghetti westerns he rips off. And, film aside... the man can't tell a story. He doesn't know how to end a film without, "UH... everyone just acts out of character, shoots everyone, the end." It's childish. He has some great dialogue but that was like the late 90s era of filmmaking, you have to be able to TELL A STORY... whether it's shot on 70mm or an iPhone.

Of course another problem is stock but still, movie makers either don't learn color and light anymore or they have unlearned it like Ridley Scott. His Napoleon movie was not just from a narrative standpoint bad his cinematography was also bad in terms of look. And that's true for so, so many others. I can't count how many hospitals and prisons look green in movies, how many night scenes are strikingly blue, how often I see a harsh blue-orange contrast. It looks incredbly stupid and basically robs the media from it's color. It's not artistic, it's more pretentious. "I am such a great artist, I make my whole picture blue, because it's winter, you know? And blue is a cool color!". Or "everything is yellow, because.. we are in Mexico and the sun is shining a lot and it's warm!". It's not just sequels, it's everywhere.
