So a story about a "semi-post-apolyptic" world mired in something akin to a civil war should have looked like...oh I don't know...'The Wizard of Oz'? Interesting take, I guess. To each his own.

Emmanuel Lubezski's (sp.) cinematography (and as an extension his "flat lighting") was awarded the ASC award for excellence in cinematography (by his peers) as well as an academy award nomination, and IMHO; it was technically one of the most stunning pieces of work in a long time, thanks in part to it's simplicity and primitive grittiness.

I for one kind of relished in and enjoyed the "What if this thing keeps on going the way it is going" message that was part of it's core.

Again, to each his own.
