My pet peeve with this series so far, is not with the story or anything like that so far, that I can ignore for a "retelling" (old LotR trilogies and now current Amazon reteller), but... My biggest gripe... is that for supposdely 60 million an episode, there was so many visual bugs that it bugged me out (took me out temporarily from watching the film). In some stuff (bad movies, bad visuals, etc), you can ignore it, as it's expected, or in some other stuff it's done so well you can hardly see or guess where the issues are. Here? Whoever is running the visuals/3d division needs to handle things better instead of just trying to make things look "real" on screen. There's more to it than that.
Kept slightly vague to avoid spoilers for anyone. So if you've seen it, you'll know which scenes I'm talking about without being specific for those who have not seen it yet.
1. Whilst panning out from the water after diving in, it looks good. Until you notice the water crests aren't getting any smaller very quickly, but the person who dove in was getting noticeably smaller FAST.
2. Whilst attacked in the sea, something that large when diving into the water, should have created enough water displacement to basically overwhelm and stop anyone swimming from the wave created by the displacement. Instead, we got a large spash of a overhead "shower", and nothing more above or below the waterline camera.
3. During the tower, when the two are talking, the tracking for the background was off, WAAAY off. The camera movement and background were not in sync during various moments, taking you out of the scene, as well as the lighting blatantly being a lit scene and not sunlight.
Basically everything looks good, but the "physics" of it all is WAAAY off. And that's when I got taken out of each scene it happens in.
