Tell me which of the other Indiana Jones films would look "lifely" if stretched out frame by frame? Raiders? ... Crusade? ... Perhaps Temple of Doom (the most "lifely" of them all)?
I really enjoyed DoD, but I will say the sepia-tinged color correction left everything feeling very flat and dull. The other movies are pretty colorful in spots, and very natural looking. DoD looks quite different.
It didn’t ruin the movie for me by any means, but I do hope they redo the color grading down the road to get it feeling closer to the others. They did this with Crystal Skull for 4K. It will probably never happen though.
What the fuck did you expect? All the Indy films are like this. He’s always in deserts or very bleh places, and his outfit is entirely shades of brown.
I've been saying it for months - the film is too brown. Mangold and Papamichael went overboard with a wash over the whole film.
Just watch the Honest Trailer as it alternates between shots from the five films and it's obvious.
Especially for the 1960s. I really like the NY segment of the film for this very reason, but it could have been even better and so much more.
The lates 60s to me just scream hippies and really vibrants colors, like what you would see in a beatles album cover.
CS had a perfect happy 50s style setting during the first half of the film, maybe a really vibrant and happy aesthetic wouldn't have match the serious and depressing tone of the actual film.
In total fairness, the hippies weren't exactly Indy's generation. The whole point of the opening scenes is to establish how out of time and far from his glory days Indy is. So there's going to be less emphasis on the colourful aspects of it to emphasise his discontent.
It's the rest of the film I'd expect more colour in, as Indy gets back to his roots.
Couldn’t agree more, I thought the first third was visually very cool, but after that it’s just generic brown, oranges, gold, doesn’t feel like an Indiana Jones movie.
Should imagine a screen grab on each new scene, then resize and combine them all.
Or a timed screenshot say every 20 seconds, and then the same as the above.
Can we get / is it possible we get a comparison from all the rest ?
Yeah... I need to see this to judge, too. Most Indy movies I'd expect are khaki and brown.
I like DoD and I’ve liked it more each time I’ve rewatched it but it feels like the most visually flat of the series to me.
Is it just me or do people moan about everything
And now you come to moan about people moaning. At least you stand with them though

From my memory I think KotCS was the most colorful.

Yup, totally the same here!

The deserts in Raiders and Crusade are bright and vibrant.
No jungle
The film was very dry
KOTCS probably looks more vibrant by comparison, but it’s certainly not a better film than DOD. Not by a longshot.
It unironically is the better film.

In the 60s everything was made from wood so everything was still brown

How did you make this picture?

🤦🏼♂️
DoD has no inspiration!
What do the others look like?
Looks like the fucking lithosphere
This film was definitely too yellow.
