That’s awesome. I hope we see more practical effects in modern movies.

You’d be surprised what effects aren’t CG these days. You remember that truck flipping scene in the Dark Knight? They actually flipped that truck for real. Pretty awesome.

I agree with soccer, i like a lot avgn series, but doesent that mean im a blind fanboy.

Soccer,

Seems like most here can’t take constructive criticism!

Thanks for you honest opinion on the movie!

Haven’t you ever noticed that the CG T-REX in Jurassic Park still holds up. It’s at times slow and lumbering animal in the rain at night. The audience gets to take it all in and the thing had weight distribution for godsakes! This CG effect looks that way for the same reason as I mentioned earlier about practical effects. It’s that unknown of whether you can do it or not that brings out the best in an artist. They were entering new territory. It was ambitious!

CG started as a new and exciting frontier for special effects, but over the years it’s lost it’s way. I’m not saying today’s CG isn’t hard work, but for many CG studios. It’s become like a well oiled machine that’s always there to make anything possible and many studios abuse that power. There’s a lack of movie magic when it comes to CG. At least for many in my generation. I’m sure for little kids today CG is movie magic, but when I was growing up, kids and adults alike had no idea how many of the practical effects in movies were even created. We sort of had an idea, but almost every new movie had that moment of – WOW! How did they do that? Today that’s practically nonexistent. We just look at it and say, oh it’s just CG again. Bg deal.

Not trolling, I’m being dead honest fuck head.

It’s nice to see trolling is alive and well on the internet.

As far as longevity, some movies age better than others, like Jurassic Park or Forrest Gump. The bottom line is, there has to be a reason for CGI, and most films use it as a means to and end, or a cheaper alternative.
