Arri cameras are better, I agree. RED is cheaper by comparison but I do not like its natural "dark contrast" look. Also it's so detailed, I feel like I'm looking at a reel off Vimeo than a real movie. Arri Alexas in particular look great and like real film, shame it takes like 3 people to control one.
But nothing beats real film. The texture makes it look 'better', better in the sense where it feels like something you can only witness in a theater or home video. Digital is so accessible and slick, it doesn't have that same feeling. With the Hobbit, I also hated how cartoony and fake it looked. I saw the first one in 48FPS and it looked like they were on stages instead of real environments. Kinda sad, really.
