Annihilation on Netflix
increasingdifficulty:
I watched Annihilation on Netflix today, just released. The technical quality was quite bad, with overexposed skies and overall really bad dynamic range.
I watched the trailer (same browser), and it looked much better. Didn't have the same problems. What could have happened to the Netflix version? It's not a low budget film so I'm sure it doesn't really look like this.
Anyone with Netflix care to take a look? I'm just curious to see how this could happen.
By the way, other movies and TV shows look fine.

Wish I hadn't watched the bad copy. It really annoyed me and took away from the film.

I think Netflix adapts the compression rate on the fly depending on your download speed at that moment, so if your internet connection is suffering, so will the image quality.
Great book, looking forward to watching it.

No, that is 100%, beyond doubt, not the case, as:
1. This is not something compression would do.
2. I have a great 200mbit/sec connection.
3. Everything else on Netflix looks fine.
But how does it look for you?

I can't find "Annihilation" on the US Netflix.
I can only find:
- Annihilation: The Destruction of Europe's Jews
- Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
- American Ninja 4: The Annihilation.
Isn't maybe a HDR stream viewed on an non-HDR display or something like that?
