Will Tasker 21 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 His lens flares have never ever bothered me. I'm cautious of Abrams as a director and storyteller for other more serious reasons, but everyone on the internet just bangs on about the superficial stuff all the time.I laugh at some of the people who praise him as a "visionary director".He's never directed any movie that isnt a sequel, or homage to some existing franchise.But he's technically proficient, generally casts well, gets good performances from that cast and values film music.Aside from David Lynch, hes probably the best casting director working today.As to the rest of his "talents", um, well...

mrbellamy 6,778 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 00:22 : classic OT shot!I'm still really enjoying the look of this movie. It doesn't seem over-stylized either in a modern way or as a try-hard nostalgic throwback. We'll see about the storytelling but visually it's convincing me as just another Star Wars adventure. The funny thing about these trailers is that while they're obviously designed to be all hype, I'm not really getting the sense from the actual footage that this movie is going out of its way to impress. Something confident about it....a lot of shots that last a few or even several seconds rather than a few frames, camera's not too hyper, lots of nice casually intimate medium shots and wider framing, quietly expressive landscape stuff on Jakku.I dunno, man, I hope it's not a bad sign but the little looks at this flick keep winning me over. I'm not seeing him as a virtuoso but maybe Abrams caught this movie at the right time and he's hitting his stride as a self-assured workman.Or maybe it fucking sucks!

John Dutton 7,436 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 One thing that really annoys me about the spaceship shots (almost none of which are seen in space, just an observation) is that it looks like the fake camera is being shaken around for no apparent reason in almost every one of them. I prefer when they did this shit with cameras and miniatures and they couldn't shake them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
