Director of photography Pikachu satisfies his monstrosities in computer graphics less obvious than those of Sonic

It's a strange week for CGI's horror film series based on classic video game franchises, with Sonic the hedgehog causing the public's revulsion gasps – and a "Sorry! Sorry! We will fix it! "From his director – and Pokémon: Detective Pikachu arrive in theaters for cautiously positive criticism from critics. But if the director of this last movie, Rob Letterman, had sympathized with his counterpart Jeff Fowler, The edge"I would not want to be out of place, they are in a difficult situation" – the director of photography of the film was much happier to talk a bit about the shit between franchises.

John Mathieson, Ridley Scott's longtime associate, whose credits include gladiator, Loganand, now, the movie with the big sweaty Pokémon – opens up to Newsweek this week with a comparison between the two films: "If we only talk about their appearance, our film is better than Sonic the hedgehog. And I'm sorry, I do not care who I hurt about saying that. "Mathieson (who also notes that he was offered the DP position on Sonicand now rejoices to have refused) attributes the difference to the decision to shoot Detective Pikachu film, rather than numerically, according his CG monstrosities a wealth and a depth of color that the Sonic the film apparently failed.

The film has not been improved by digital. People are more lazy, they do not try as hard, do not try. I find it very difficult to use, especially these huge movies of Marvel superheroes because [director of photographers] all are alike. Everything happens in the computer and washes. You do not see the individuality of the photographer and it's a shame. It is difficult to draw attention to a film made by many people who have used a large computer. That's what they are, computers with a lens.

Listen, listen, we say: Where in Hollywood are the real monsters of yesterday's computer-animated cartoon video games?
