Notable Strengths – Instead of strengths I am just going to take a moment of appreciation for Roger Deakins, because there are no weaknesses in the cinematography of this film. Deakins has displayed again his mastery of contemporary cinematography and camera systems, but has gone above and beyond with the thermal scenes and ambition on the shooting of the action sequences.

I know oscars don’t mean much to professionals who get to do this every day, and his work might not be as flashy as shooting 70mm sensors or reviving new film stock, but if you were asked to name one person to write the textbook 21st century cinematography, it would have to be Deakins, and I hope he gets rewarded for his fantastic work in his lifetime.
