Agreed. The visuals for that movie just look...otherworldly beautiful.
great photography but i don't think it would top what Roger Deakins did for SF

I have to agree with you there. I can't imagine any Bond film ever topping Deakins's work on SF. Still looks amazing, though!

that is what i really wanted to say but i was afraid of being exaggerating .. one day it will be clear that that Roger Deakins was the one behind SF uniqueness

But in any case, Hoyte van Hoytema seems to be the perfect follow-up to Roger Deakins.Wide-shots in particular give something...majestic to a film.
I agree, and on my recent Bondathon I realized how great EON was at doing this in the past. OHMSS & TSWLM are absolutely stunning films to look at due to wide-angle use. I have to say though, good as SF and Deakins were, on my recent rewatch, I had new found appreciation for CR & QoS (what you could make out of it anyway) in the cinematography dept. They were both quite 'grand' as well. All DC's films have been that way.
Telly Savalas is my favourite Oberhauser so far.
Agree with this. Pumped. We shall see how it plays out!
agree .. far more better than Charles Gray's Oberhauser :D
We have early showing here. I am going evening of Nov 5!
You and I both! I already have my 7 PM tickets paid for and reserved at the box office.
I do agree that "Mad Max: Fury Road" (John Seale A.S.C.), "The Revenant" (Emmanuel Lubezki A.S.C.), "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens" (Daniel Mindel) and "Sicario" (Roger Deakins A.S.C., B.S.C.) are strong competitors in that field. But it also works the other way around. I also think Hoyte van Hoytema F.S.F, N.S.C. is really outperforming himself based on what I saw from the trailers. Probably.....Roger Deakins finally wins it. But so far DoP's like Daniel Mindel and Hoyte van Hoytema haven't won any big prize yet.
Anyway, judge yourself:
One more thing. While I said myself that van Hoytema seems to be a perfect follow-up to Roger Deakins, he creates an atmosphere for "SPECTRE" that's entirely different from "SkyFall". While both films amaze us with wonderful wide shots and aerial landscape shots, they both 'feel' entirely different.
With top-notch cinematography, differences in...quality...are near untraceable. It especially goes for Academy Award nominated DoP's. So saying that "doesn't compare to The Revenant in the slightest" is a bit too soon to say no ;-).
