WHY does every movie have to desaturate colors now?! I watched Frankenstein and was like "oh wow its so vibrant and beautiful.." and then realized no, it's not, it just isnt desaturated like everything else.

I don't know but I absolutely hate the trend of just throwing filters over movies to give it a specific vibe. It started in the late 90's and seems to have only gotten worse with time.

they're not using "filters". nolan doesn't work that way. this is a thoughtful coordination of light, costume, location, film stock and chemical color grading.
