It's this section of the film that's the most powerful
as director Garth Davis plunges us into the
reality of the vast unfriendly metropolis, and
cinematographer Greig Fraser («Zero Dark Thirty», «Rogue One») creates some memorable shots of the huge, unwelcoming city at night.
He and
cinematographer Eric Kress (Colossal) aren't in a showy mood, attempting to ground all of this science fiction - horror - melodrama craziness in a practical, tactile
reality that's nowhere near
as fantastical
as the one manufactured by Schumacher for his version.
