I have adjusted my TV to get more color and light in a movie or TV cos everything look dead or not natural.

Why spend millions $ to special effects color out of everything and f up beautiful scenery and backgrounds !!

Dark, brooding, moody cinematography is there to distract you from the idea that you're watching a dumb superhero movie like a child smile

I don't want to pay $17 to see Snap Filter on a movie.

My guess is it probably saves a million or two and some time when adding the special effects to a dark filtered movie. Also helps hid some other shortcuts they may have made in the props, sets, costumes, ect.

It is generally helpful to apply a general correction/noise/denoise after merging elements and doing editing work - it can hide a multitude of sins around 'out of place' lighting as long as you are 'close enough'. Otherwise you get the "South Park explosions effect".

Not a fan of modern action-movies over loud, over long and overblown. Also vessels for preaching nonsense.

Not exactly the same thing, but could be related - this is a video about why movies are often underexposed, and for technical reasons:

I don't like it when it's dark and no color and your eyes hurt after watching a movie.

Interesting thread. Odd TV/Monitor color is something I notice and am also "bothered by". I looked at some of the links -- and the links they linked.

Getting color right is difficult with "video cameras" taking the pictures and presenting them on "electronic video screens" or "electronic projectors" -- versus taking on film and projecting by sending light through film.

Part of the problem on the desktop (or in one's home TV screen) is the difference in how different TVs and Monitors present color. Some do a good job and some don't. For example, only Plasma or OLED TVs and monitors come close to presenting the full "contrast range" in each individual "frame" that comes up (QLED tries). But, most folks don't watch on Plasma or OLED; thus, they don't see the contrasts the camera saw. And, on and on.


Sapphire Pulse RX7900XTX, 3 monitors = 23P (1080p) + SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G7 1000R curve (4K/2160p) + 23P (1080p), AMD R9-7950X (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420), 64GB RAM@6.0GHz, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER MB, (4x M.2 SSD + 2xSSD + 2xHD) = ~52TB storage, EVGA 1600W PSU, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower, ASUS RT-AX89X 6000Mbps WiFi router, VKB Gladiator WW2 Stick, Pedals, G.Skill RGB KB, AORUS Thunder M7 Mouse, W11 Pro

Hmm, maybe I don't notice this as much on newer films because my home theater screen is set to 9700k color temperature, which brightens the picture quite a bit and makes things "pop." Still, older movies do often have a broader color palette, especially stuff from the 70s.



I have found playing with color temperature helps with things other than movies, too. I can't spot aerial targets for poop in DCS World, I'm incredibly blind. But if I set my temps to 9700 and turn on dynamic contrast ratios, they are a bit easier to find--but still dang hard. I need a 100 inch monitor.

What bothers me even more is that the default setting on many tv's is way too sharp. Googled it and apparently this is called the Soap Opera effect - which is indeed exactly what it looks like to me.

Soap opera effect has nothing to do with sharpness, it's about frame interpolation.
