I really enjoyed AOTC, but dont know where I rank it. I think Georgie boy should not have bothered fucking with digital until it could match the look of film better. There are some parts of AOTC that looked so fucked and grainy, because of either poor lighting, or the fact that digital couldnt pick up the images enough without boosting the gain...which just looks fucked.
Take a look at LOTR, Andrew Lesnie did a fucking amazing job filming that, used film...looks brilliant and vibrant, because he shot it on film.
Im into digital filmmaking and all...and like to do it...but i think if your going to make huge blockbuster films, you should be able make them at least look decent all the way through.
