Yea, they shoot it "flat" on purpose because shooting it that way retains the most information in the highlights and the shadows. That way, when the graders start working on it - it doesn't fall apart on them. If they shot it snappy & contrasty, they have very little room in post to manipulate it. Made sense to me when I heard that....
