What version do you prefer? I like the b/w much better. Creepier, much more atmospheric, and the CGI doesn't look that goofy.

If others want to try out black and white version, lower the saturation in the player to zero. There, instant pretentious artistic vision.

Seriously, is there a black and white version (official) of this?!

See this is why we can't lose these message boards. I would have never have known about this version.

I prefer the color version. Just like with the B/W version of Logan that came with the Bluray, I don't like movies in color that are just converted into black and white any more than black and white movies that are converted into color.
It doesn't look right. Movies intended to be black and white are framed differently. They're lit differently. When it's converted to black and white, it's no real difference than just changing the settings on the tv to make everything black and white. It looks wrong.
So many stories, so little time.
