Odd that Peter Jackson would choose a high fantasy film to delve into “realistic-looking” filming. 
I, also, haven’t been able to forgive Jackson after The Lovely Bones.

And the reason is realism. I love that the actors look and move like regular people.
I imagine that ultimately, this might not be all-encompassing, but used purposefully the way black and white is. 
BUT… if it IS the real future of film, it means that we’ll enter a transition period first- where for a while, you’ll notice the makeup, the poor quality of the sets, etc. But good films with attention to detail will REALLY stand out because of this. Good acting will REALLY stand out, and like anything else in life, with enough time, people will learn how to cheat the bad sets and bad acting to make it look just as good while staying under a smaller budget.
That’s a traditional part of cinema that will never go away. :)
