I just watched HP and the DH Part I a few nights ago and enjoyed it. (I fell into a deep slumber when I tried to watch it at the theater last year.) I rented it through the iTunes store, and I was struck by how very dim the image was throughout. The colors were muted and washed out in all but a few scenes, I presume on purpose. This is how the last few HP movies have looked to me at the theater as well - dark and dim. I was thinking this was due to bad projection at the local cinema, but it looks as though it's often a conscious choice to make films so murky I begin to worry about my eyesight. (By immediate contrast, the iTunes menu screens and trailers for other movies looked vivid and bright on the very same monitor just moments before and after I began streaming HP. I checked because I was so shocked at the dimness of the HP image.)
Given that 3D cinema showings leach even more light from movies, I am most definitely going to attend the final HP film in 2D!
