Maybe it was the Technicolor.
Eye of the beholder I suppose, but Dune 2 is one of the most gorgeous movies I've ever seen.Dune 2 is not your average movie, it's very much the pinnacle of modern movies.
Ya, for me when I watch banshees of Inisherin, birdman, game of thrones, all quiet on the western front, and a slew of other range of movies/shows, Im always like, boy this looks like shit, I wish I could go back to rear window days

ITT: Zithers cherry-picking all the best looking old movies while ignoring the ones that look like trash
Movies shot on location > green screen warehouseNow there might be some merit to directors that actually understand cinematography. Even though Dune 2 has a lot of green screens I heard that the film work was done with trying to still do camera work as if it was real life.
But today, that scene would be shot with green screen, wires, and giant fans. It would look phony as hell.but they literally did actual skydiving jumps for one of the recent Mission Impossible movies.
theres like 4 movies pre 1980 that i can tolerate, if that
old movies are so fuck ugly. and everyone talks like shit
no you're just nostalgic, it objectively looks worse.
that said i can't watch the modern upscales because it looks awful. take Rear Window for example. Just awful.
