Off color in some Sci Fi films

[TreeTops]

I was watching the Sci Fi channel today (some kind of vampire movie) and noticed that most (but not all) of the scenes had a green cast. Even the actors skin had that icky greenish color. Was that intentional or bad color correction in post?

Probably intentional.

It took me a little while initially to notice the green cast while watching Matrix (any of them).

Its settle but definitely there. At least while they are in the Matrix. Its not there while on the ship or in Zion.

It looks to me like they didn't do a white balance using fluorescent lamps for illumination.

By any chance was it that vampire movie with Sam Neil in it?

I think it was.

I think it was.

They were showing it quite often so I kind of figured that.

Just like they've been showing the Star Trek movies all the time. Of course I have them all on Bluray so its not as important to me even though I have hd cable and can watch them in hd. Nice though that they do show them in OAR. Though if I remember right some of them are in OAR and some are cropped to 1.85.

So far as I know all of the Star Trek movies are approx 2.35:1. I think they cropped Insurrection and one or two of the other Next Gen movies. No idea why they would crop some of the Trek movies and leave the others untouched.
