Slocombe is still alive at 94, but he's obviously retired.

First of all no one was expecting Slocombe to rise from the grave, considering he's still alive and retired... not dead!Dust McAlan said:I've personally enjoyed every film Kaminski has shot, and this was no exception.
I'm really getting tired of the "It didn't look/feel like the old movies!!!" It's 20 years later, there's better film technology, and we've got a different cinematographer. I mean, what, you were expecting Doug Slocombe to rise from the grave and for Harrison Ford to de-age 20 years?
Nostalgic hardcore fanboys make me ill.
Here, here. Exactly my thoughts.replican't said:There is absolutely nothing wrong with the cinematography on this film.

I'm a fan of KOTCS, an even bigger fan of Spielberg, and I appreciate Kaminski's talents! But can you honestly say that you don't see a big difference between those two pics? There were certain scenes and entire sequences where it wasn't so noticeable, but at other times it was just glaringly obvious!Peacock's-Eye said:Spielberg is one of the greatest American filmmakers of all time, and Kaminski is a brilliant cinematographer, that's what's up with them. And they just made a really fun summer movie, "Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

I get your point, my only issue is that Spielberg made some of his greatest films with different cinematographers. Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., and The Indy series were all made over a 15 year period with different people behind the lens(Indy being the only exception because it was a series). Then from 1993 to 2008 Spielberg has exclusively used Kaminski, who has a very distinct visual style(brand) that never changes. I just don't understand why Spielberg would make so many great films with various artists, then become locked into this partnership for a huge portion of his career.Peacock's-Eye said:I know what you mean by 'feeling off' if you consider the 'look' of the Trilogy to be canon. But I think one of the themes of KSC is that change is inevitable, and it's healthier to accept change than cling to the past. Opening up the 'look' is part of that, I think. And intentional. I think they kept it as close as possible, but in other parts wanted to bring something fresh & new to the series. Which jives with the themes of change.
