I agree, Walter; but then many films (not shot on video) I've seen in the theater lately suffer from this. Whenever they'd cut to a big, panoramic shot in Matrix: Reloaded it would look flat, washed out, and lose all detail. To the extent I'd think, "what am I looking at?" Same with 28DL...
Yes :D Yeah, that's exactly what I thought as I was walking out of the theater: "well, I guess Ridley Scott can shelve that 'I Am Legend' film for good." They pretty much stole his thunder. That's what happens when you putz around for years on a project. It's bones get picked clean.
