What if Jurassic World was not color graded that heavily?
Here is a screencap from the Tv-Spot Trailer regraded to have more natural colors.



The upper is at it originally appears (in the movie).
The lower is re-graded to represent a more natural color-palette.

Notice how it clearly enhances the artificial look of the cgi-made dinosaurs.
There you have it, the color-grading tint and the hazy look, is primarily there to mask the bad cgi. Yes, BAD cgi, because look at it!
It makes the image look like one of those Dinosaur documentaries from the nineties.
And this is a BAD thing, because there is no excuse to sacrifice solid visuals to just have another movie, because it forcefully MUST show things which are hard to project naturally, at all costs.
Here we are talking about the godfather that practically invented cgi-graphics.

Decide which one you like better.
What if Terminator: Genisys was not color-graded that heavily?
Here's a Trailer Screencap regraded to have more natural colors.



The upper is as it originally appeared in the Trailer.
The lower is re-graded to have more natural colors (at least more in the vein of the 90s).
Decide yourself which you like the best.


I think if a movie gets a sequel, one thing I could never stand, is when they completely depart from the original and look like they belong to a different universe. If you want a sequel, there should always be continuity and integrity in it's makeup. That does not only conform to the overall visual aesthetics, but also the soundtrack.
Some movies live so strongly on their soundtracks that are part of the whole film as a piece of united artwork.
Then comes a composer that does something completely different, NO, you can't do this!
This same happens for visuals and audio. If you want to try something out, or bring in your own personality, a long beloved pop-cultural series is NOT the place to do so!

Just a little rant about how Mad Max - Fury Road would look if it wasn't color-graded that heavily.




The upper one is how it originally appears. The lower one is corrected to more natural colors.
Decide which one you like the best.
