This might be a factor in why some think the movie is drab looking?

I thought it was a projector problem at first but I’ve seen it three times at three different luxury cinemas and parts of it look like crap all round.
I think the cinematography just isn’t great.
Obviously the home video release will give the best indication, but considering just about everyone is commenting on how bad some of the images look I doubt it’s just a universal projector problem; it’s too convenient.
Also I’m sticking to my prediction of a bomb; won’t crack 450 mill, mark my words 😉
