Movies that are forever visually restricted by the tech used to create them

[levcore]

Apologies for the wordy title but what movies were either really trying to push the envelope by using brand new camera systems or technology in their creation that have now forever restricted the visuals on them? I'm talking about movies like Captain America: The First Avenger being (mostly?) shot at 1080p or Superman Returns being shot on those awful looking digital cameras or Attack of the Clones being digitally softened in post to offset how sharp the digital photography was and now the movie is stuck looking that way?

These movies are stuck looking a certain way and can never really look any better due to it and actually end up looking worse than much older movies due to the tech used. Any good examples of this?
