I like those photos. Funny how having a set actually grey makes it look way more Star Wars than the blue tint they've added in the trailers. The whole teal and orange thing is a big fear of mine - modern colour grading sucks. It's a lost art, colourists need a hard slap.
I agree for the most part. It was cool effect 15 years ago, when it was something to make a film stand apart, but it seems now if you want a film to stand out, coloring as naturally as possible is the way to go.
I like when it's used to create a certain unnatural look to things. Like in Japanese horror films to create a sense of dread and a "things aren't right" that plays as a theme often.
I would probably be okay with it if this wasn't a star wars film. Star Wars was always my go to science fiction film, because it created a plausible world where things were used and lived in. The Millennium Falcon reminds me more of an old work truck, than a futuristic space ship. Adding a filter to it, takes me out of that world.
