It'd be Fantastic if you Could Actually See The Beasts.

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2017)

Heavy digital filter use MUST DIE!!! I'm really sick of this film conceit of the New Millennium. Digital filter abuse is to this time as green gels and fluorescent lights were to the 90's and blue gels, bee smoke and Venetian blinds were to 80's. STOP ALREADY.
I watched this movie with my 90 year old mother who is a devout Harry Potter fan. The movie is so frickin' grey she couldn't make out what was going on for most of the movie and I kept reaching for the remote to adjust the color, tint and contrast. I'm guessing the design of some the creatures was colorful and 'fantastic' but by the time the Director got done desaturating everything you couldn't tell. To give you an idea, the Sun comes out at the end and even it looked washed out. It's also one of those 'whisper to explosion' movies so you have to ride the volume.
I guess you can tell I have no comment on the film's content. I couldn't get around the lousy post production choices.
Oh, yeah and why the F-Hell does Colin Farrell suddenly turn into Johnny Depp??? Please, someone explain this to me.
