There& #39;s a particular kind of prestige scifi aesthetic in the last seven years or so where everything looks antiseptic and gunmetal and I& #39;m trying to think of some of the prime offenders
This feels like a Nolan/Ridley Scott adjacent aesthetic that got sucked into prestige TV as well and I 100% think a lot of it has to do with cheap trips people took to Iceland.
The thing is it& #39;s absolutely possible to do this aesthetic well (Roger Deakins/Kojima) but the result of doing it badly is that everything looks like the HDR is fucked up on your TV. It& #39;s also become shorthand for Serious Science Fiction.
OK I& #39;ll watch Oblivion.
