I felt like there was not as much creativity in the cinematography as there was in Prince Caspian (there were some excellent technically difficult shots and brilliant linked scene transitions in that movie), but I wasn't bothered by it.

I haven't seen Master and Commander, so I wouldn't know.

I wasn't bothered by it, but it was pretty plain. Which was okay by me. I did like how the movie started.

I too thought the cinematography was, for the most part, rather ordinary but some moments were well-done. I don't think it can be blamed on the lowered budget though because you can still do a lot with $150million US. I think it's the responsibility of the director and cinematographer and for goodness sakes - replace the current scriptwriters!

I second that motion, Warrior.

I didn't think the cinematography was that bad. For the most part I thought it was excellent. I really liked the look of Ramandu's Island, for instance. I did not like the look of Coriakin's island, however. The dark island, if you subtract the green mist, was well done, conceptually. Similarly, there was nothing wrong with the look of The Lone Islands. I did think that blending the CG Eustace Dragon against the background of Ramandu's Island was poorly done.

I'm closing this thread as there is a topic already open on the subject here. Please continue the discussion there.
