kinda pushing the envelope for this character. I wish they'd just go back to the basics in Indy 5 like in Raiders and seriously minimize the CGI.
Good point, KotCS doesn't look like the originals,no, but not fake. CGI was so heavily under fire,yet cgi had nothing to do with the look of it. It's just totally wrong to judge the fakeness of something based on the fact that it wasn't made in the 80s.Forbidden Eye said:Actually, if you look at the film, you'll see that outside of the obvious clip(Aliens, ants, fridge) that the film was mostly shot CGI-free. Even scenes where Indy busts through the barrels was done live with any CGI as shown on the DVD features.
What you're noticing is the coloring which is digitally-processed as opposed to chemically processed like the originals.
I think this clip explains it better like I can. Frankly this is why every film looks different today than the 1980's or films like Fargo or No Country For Old Men look different despite being only a decade apart. We just don't ever really notice because those films aren't in a series and have fans that can compare scenes unfairly, frame by frame.
I think its unfair to expect Kingdom to have looked exactly like the first 3 films like you seem to have expected, as it was always going to look different, even if the 95-year-old Slocombe had enough energy to have returned. Because like typing a screenplay on a type-writer instead of a computer, it'd just too much of a hassle.
I think Kingdom and does a really good job at capturing the original colors considering(the best example being the graveyard scenes). But as for why it doesn't look like it was shot in the 1980's, well that's because it was not shot in the 1980's.

Plus; not enough Bullwhip... and he didnt even once fire his pistol! (to the best of my knowledge)HovitosKing said:let me put it this way...they ruined the KotCS cartoon by including a few too many live-action shots.
I agree we could have used more whip, but does that have anything to do with how fake the film is . Let's not get off topic.HJJNR said:Plus; not enough Bullwhip... and he didnt even once fire his pistol! (to the best of my knowledge)

Dayne said:I agree the shot in the film looks chintzy and lame, but I was referring more to the snapshot in which you cannot notice the bluescreen as much. Though you may and probably will be of the same opinion, I just wanted to clarify.

Lance Quazar said:Granted, most of the Grail Temple interiors in LC were certainly nothing to write home about. Couple crappy-looking lions, not much else.

"Ahhhh Venice..."
