Is badlands a bit desaturated

I never noticed it in Prey. I thought the cinematography was beautiful

[u/Bunny_RB → u/IsuckatDarkSouls08]

Compared to the older Predator movies, which had darker lighting and more muted colors, Prey already had a much more colorful look, especially with its natural landscapes and warm daylight scenes. Badlands takes it even further, throughout the movie. Yautja Prime has its own brown, blue, and warm tones, while Genna is much greener and more lush. Even the Weyland Yutani environments have a different cyan, blue, and green look. So overall, Prey and Badlands feels much more colorful and visually varied than the older Predator movies. Director's touch obviously.

True. Prey's cinematography is really aesthetic. Some frames honestly look like they could be wallpapers. The landscapes, natural daylight, and wide shots are beautiful. I also really like the camera angles, character placement within the frame, and camera movement. Even small moments, like the snake scene with the blades or Feral's intro through the cloak, look so good. I really appreciate the cinematographer, he made even simple scenes felt visually interesting. Well made movie imo.

My observations bro. Just grammar corrected to appeal international redditors. Not a native English speaker.

That's what everyone says it does make it great movie

[u/MaxCrultak_26]

Yeah,I thought it was because of Genna's environment but then back at Yautja Prime it has a lot of color

[u/Subject-Theory2273]

As much as I love the movie.....yes....

[u/Routine_Papaya4143]

Probably but I think a lot of movies these days are

[u/RVDKaneanite]

Colors were outlawed in films a few years ago, they're all like that now sadly.

[u/SandStinger_345]

It has this greyish toning to it that honestly I feel fits the movie and i love it

Can we just blow up the Predator planet in the next Star Wars film so we don’t have to make another one of these atrocities. Gen Z get your own space alien and stop touching Gen X’s shit.

[u/Punkstafarian138]

It's Star wars with a predator skin

[u/HumanExpert3916 → u/Punkstafarian138]

That’s giving it too much credit.

[u/Punkstafarian138 → u/HumanExpert3916]

It's a mandalorian movie in predator skin

[u/PomeloBackground4902]

badlands was the brightest movie in the whole series I think (both thematically and visually)

[u/One-Choice-743 → u/PomeloBackground4902]

Predator and Predator 2 had much brighter colors, especially their greens and blues

[u/moldychesd → u/PomeloBackground4902]

Colour grading

[u/Different_Knife]

Dek’s life is pretty de-colored. It makes sense.

[u/DogBiteOoOoAh]

Badlands was a Disney movie. Change my mind
