Hello everybody
Just watched Carrie yesterday, it was an average film, much worse than the original...but something in the cinematography was bothering me, on the prom scene (before the Carrie breakdown) Carrie was talking to Tommy Ross, and I was a bit shocked with the lens performance in those shots, it was VERY clear to me that the film makers didn't use cinema lenses. On one shot of Tommy Ross for example, the image was very soft and the bokeh had that "outlining" effect, just like the fast 50mm still lenses when are used wide open. On some other shots I also spotted a bokeh with "onion" effect. It was not smooth like we see on 99.9% of the big budget films.
Maybe most people will not be bothered or even will not notice, but I was a bit surprised... what do you think about this?
On IMDB spec page, the film was shot with the Alexa and Panavision lenses... I doubt that!
