Weird Camera Movements (3D Matrix Like)


Was anyone else REALLY put off by the weird 3D-like camera transitions the Director made to move between scenes. It felt very oddball against the rest of the tone and took me out of the film everytime; constantly reminding me I was watching a movie instead of staying immersed in it. Those kind of movements seemed like they belonged in movies like Matrix, Crank, Lucy, not a gritty movie with a 70's vibe throughout.

No not put off at all.It only happened a few times but anyways,it was refreshing to see a director try s'thing a little different.It wasn't off-putting at all.

I did think some of those were kind of strange, in that like you said, it kinda pulls you out of the film a bit.

However, given that the structure was based around the first scene (which was, in 'real time', near the end), then the film goes back to "16 hours earlier" and recounts how events unfolded, the technique isn't completely out-of-place.

In other cases, I thought the film overall had some nice technique and cinematography.

Made the film look like a videogame honestly, something that really shouldn't happen when you are trying to be serious.

-No. I've got nobody else to remember.

THANK YOU! I don't know what the technical term is for that camera move but I found it oddly amateurish, distracting and not in keeping with the rest of the film. As if it had been added as an after thought...
