God I hate this. Few things will turn me off a show quicker than those ridiculous filters they use. I've been to Mexico, it's not sepia toned.
Its like the cinema version of brown-n-bloom from games of the 7th console generation. Filmographers discovered digital filters as a new tool so of course they are they going to use the new toy everywhere.
Like JJ Abrams and lense flares
If you really hate someone, teach them to recognize teal / orange color grading.
Like mad max fury road?
Yeah, and I like it!
There are places where it's used well. The Matrix, for example. Someone elseThread said Max Max: Fury Road, and I agree on that. Those are... at the moment... the only two that aren't abominations of decolouring, though.
The matrix green tone is noticeable more in the 2nd and 3rd to me much more than the first.
I don't think the first three Matrix films are color-graded. The first one for sure is merely tinted. The process doesn't seem to exist before O Brother, Where Art Thou. At least it wasn't applied to whole films.
But yeah, Mad Max gets a pass for being all desert and sky. When someone has mango skin and key-lime eyes in a Miss Marple episode, fuck off.
