I have a completely different view on this.

I HATE when we take a “camera perspective” instead of an “eye perspective”. I don’t like exaggerated contrast, because that’s what cameras do, not what eyes do. The world doesn’t look like that, unless you view it through a camera. For the same reason, I can’t stand lens-flares and I’m really not a fan of focus-shifts unless they’re natural. I don’t like abberation, because my eyes don’t do that. Motion blur is even worse, and having it absolutely minimized is preferable. It’s especially bad when first-person videogames do it, and then add film-grain on top. I don’t understand why films are still mostly shot at 24fps, I love the rare few films that are shown at 60fps. It’s basically the only redeeming feature of the new Avatar movie.

I don’t want to see someone work a camera, I want to see the scene. That doesn’t mean I like grey, because the world has a TON of colour, but it also doesn’t mean I like the unrealistically high contrasts.

A lot of writers seem to have forgotten that scifi uses aliens and new worlds to talk about humans. They just think that scifi uses aliens and new worlds.

The Dark Crystal is basically a Henson muppet movie about genocide.
