looks like crap.
 why bother with CGI when you can use real actors? I dont find them real at all, all of them look fakey to me. Like a superbly done videogame cutscene. I like the 28 Weeks Later trailer music though, nevermind the fact that it doesn't fit in with the trailer at all. |

Are you seriously kidding. yeah crap in the sense that they tried so hard to make it look real and it still doesn't look real. wait for a few more years la then only try a full realistic CGI movie. for the time being I'll stick to the non-realistic animations of Pixar.   |

QUOTE(redbull_y2k @ Nov 16 2007, 03:39 AM) yup.... apparently some ppl think they have higher taste compared to the rest ever heard of 'opinions'?  QUOTE(BurgaFlippinMan @ Nov 16 2007, 05:28 PM) Its warmly received on RT.com so far. Plus, vgm cutscenes dont come anywhere close. Plus, Zemeckis is a good filmmaker any way you cut it. Plus, its got a freaking Silvestri action score for pete's sake!!! the story, direction, score, etc wont do nothing for me when the visuals themselves make me wanna throw up. the people look like walking wax figures for chrissake! with dead cold eyes not unlike of those found on dead fishes. and to top it off... unnatural movement that I really, really cannot stand looking at for more than a minute. the closer they want it to look like the real thing, the more it pisses me off.Burga - who wonders when Zemeckis will work with live action again, considering his next movie post Beowulf is yet another CG fest Added on November 16, 2007, 5:28 pm I saw them in 300. oh and also crappy fire effects. |

But then again i'm sure you're pretty much clueless when it comes to the technical achievements in 3D animation so far. Progress takes time u know. well of course I'm basing my opinion upon the trailers. are you telling me the people in the movie itself look better than on the trailer?its commendable that they try to up the ante for 3d animation but with results like, this sticking to using real humans would be far better. sure the details are all there, but what use is that when you cant even get the movement, eyes, and that damn glossy waxy looking people right? and as azarimy said, the cgi doesn't look all that groundbreaking at all, only more detailed. then again watching it in 3d might be fun, so I dont know. oh yea today's The Star review.

QUOTE(BurgaFlippinMan @ Nov 17 2007, 02:05 PM) The way I look at it. Its nothing wrong trying to push visual effects into new grounds. The thing is, how long do you wait till you show it? Wait till its perfect? The money spent has to be recouped somehow. This looks far better than the Polar Express, which looked great in its time or the digital humans in the Matrix sequels. Its the same as everything else. Attack of the Clones was a breakthrough with its digital world, looked pretty darn good at its time but naturally, being the pioneer, has aged a little quicker than usual. But without AOTC, would we have gotten stuff like Sky Captain, Sin City or even 300? The same goes for early CG, or even the motion control of Star Wars. fair enough point, though I still feel the filmmakers are trying to overcomplicate things by doing a full motion capture and then synthesizing it and resulting in something that doesnt look half as good as real actors.Plus like I said, a big Silvestri fantasy action score should be worth the price of admission alone. He's not getting these kinds of assignments much anymore, with the field being dominated by the sounds of Zimmer and his army of clones, and with Poledouris and Goldsmith dead. If this sounds anything like Van Helsing, a score which teaches MV how it should be done (and from preview clips, it does), its a good listen to me. |
