I Think Movies Are Getting This Weird Netflixy Vibe Now


Netflix (and other streaming services) have changed the landscape of how movies are released. It's awesome that we have all this content for sure! But I am watching a certain (probably high budget, judging by the names of the actors and actresses in it) Netflix movie right now, and I can't shake this feeling that I am getting that the movie is somehow cheaper or doesn't have the same "magic" as a movie that is released only in theaters. I'ts hard to describe.It's like Netflix movies have big actors and high budgets and are shot really well, but there is just something off about them. They always feel flat and uninspired. It's like I get the feeling that they are trying to appeal to all audiences or something.Anyone else feel that way? Perhaps its a subconscious thing. The fact that I assume that Netflix movies must be cheaper leads me to go into the movie with a negative attitude or something... Maybe I just have to get used to the fact that movies simultaneously release in theaters and on Netflix now. (I'll admit I have not looked up if the movie that I am watching is also in theaters... Don't want to see any reviews.Do you agree that movies realeased on streaming servies seem to have a "Netflixy" vibe to them even if they are also released in theaters? What are your thoughts?EDIT: Thanks to sandwichsandwich69 for providing a link to an earlier discussion a few years ago about this topic.See it here.After reading some of those comments, and some of the comments in this thread, it seems like Netflix enforces some kind of rigid standards for how movies need to be filmed. For example, using digital film (perhaps even a certain digital film). I also read a comment that said that Netflix movies take into account users screen sizes when making filming decisions.So if its true that Netflix does in fact enforce a rigid standard for all the content it produces, that could definitely contribute to the "Netflixy Vibe". via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3x8vQ2L
