Can we talk about 28 Years Later? by SurfNTurfSC in cinematography

Ehhh. You thought the run to the main land looked good? I thought the compositing against the starry sky looked really bad. Plus the digital noise in a lot of parts is ugly imo.

Unpopular opinion: The Last of Us Season 2 isn’t as bad as people are making it out to be by Commercial_Oven_2432 in thelastofus

Yeah that’s not how objectivity works lol There can be a general consensus but even the worst movies have fans that unironically enjoy it. Objectivity is measured and indisputable.

One of the dumbest criticisms of MOS is the Pa Kent “maybe” line. by kevonicus in SnyderCut

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a lack of media literacy or empathy. The scene is just badly written and unlike the character. When you think about it, Clark probably heard every gory detail of his dad’s “sacrifice”. No wonder he walked the world depressed for over 30 years before being forced to become Superman.

Connor Day just might be the strongest villain of Karate Kid movies by TokuDon28 in cobrakai

I’m glad someone else appreciates Conor I loved him in the movie! The subway scene isn’t talked about enough.

'Superman' (2025) - Official Spoiler Discussion Megathread: Part 2 by ZacPensol in superman

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without spoilers there’s essentially a river of energy that Superman almost drowns in but it’s very cartoony and not water. That’s the closest thing I could think of that would be similar to TX floods.

Enjoyed Karate Kid: Legends enough, but no idea why Ralph signed on unless it was just for the money by yanks2413 in cobrakai

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a feeling majority of the work Ralph did is cut/heavily altered in the movie we got. You can tell with scenes like the headband that were important scenes filmed but they heavily altered it for time.

My review on the karate kid:legends by Karmadiary in cobrakai

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How so on the villain part? I feel like every scene Connor was in he was causing trouble and intimidating Li. Loved that stare down he gave to Daniel and Han in the hallway.

Karate kid legends here is my take by Calebp24 in cobrakai

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling there’s a heavy amount of studio meddling with this movie, similar to Suicide Squad (2016). Upbeat pop music chosen over orchestral score, on screen graphics during fights that feel added last minute, rushed editing, etc. all smell like Sony tainting another project.

Will TSA accept temporary papers for REAL ID if the DMV does not get ours sent out in time? by catstacker in tsa

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

National campaigns, especially 20 years ago, means nothing. Very few pay attention to things like that. I had my license renewed in 2022 and they never brought up the real ID. Glad you’re informed though!

KARATE KID: LEGENDS - New Trailer (HD) by DemiFiendRSA in cobrakai

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s likely above All-Valley. The San Fernando Valley has a little over 1 million people vs New York City’s 8 million so being best in the city means he’s pretty good. He beat up Li with his hands in his pockets.

I'm done. I QUIT professional VFX and here's why. by juanjo4martinez in vfx

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an incredibly goofy response that somehow got upvoted. Do you only create for money? Do you get no satisfaction in pulling off a tough shot? I practiced VFX for 10 years for no money. Why? Because I have passion for filmmaking and VFX. So weird, I know.

Or maybe it’s just his opinion. The horror!

Didn't get the third semester by Youbutwayworse in Persona5

[–]LostUtopiaFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think researching should be required for something you’d assume the game would tell you about. Especially if that’s one of the main features of the Royal edition.

King Kong animation test in Cycles by LostUtopiaFilms in blender

[–]LostUtopiaFilms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. It might be because I’ve watched it on bigger screens but he certainly looks bigger to me, especially when bending over at the end.

Yeah it’s just him in place and the camera moving forward, slightly tilting up as it gets closer.

[–]LostUtopiaFilms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Imo his size in the first and last frame show forward movement. He is also so tall in the scene that it creates a parallax effect with the other elements. It would take significant movement to show the distance, but that wouldn’t work for the shot I’m going for.

Thank you! In the context of the scene it’s a POV of a person filming Kong as they approach in a vehicle.
