I prefer characters and creatures to be practical if at all possible.. But there is no reason not to utilize CGI for things that are otherwise impossible to explore. Nothing to be scared of I agree, the combination of the two is the best, which is what the new movies have been doing really well in my opinion. half the time people complaining about CGI don’t even realize what they’re talking about. Like people complain the the entire prequel trilogy was CGI (and there definitely was a lot of it) but don’t realize that more practical miniature sets were built and used in those movies than in the original trilogy.

Ghent Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Isn't it crazy how dated the special effects of Episode 1 look already? At the time that was groundbreaking stuff. For instance, the Gungan bubble shields at the end. That blew my mind back in the day, but it looks kind of fake now. Doesn't look shitty or anything, just outdated AF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yeah watching through them this last week the effects definitely look a little silly. Especially because the versions on Disney+ are the highest resolution versions of the movies that are available now, which just makes the dated CGI even more obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Is The Last Jedi not one of the sequels? What I'm trying to say is Snoke looks retarded. Sorry to ruffle butthurt SW fans feathers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the choreographed duel at the end of ep. 1 is landslides better than anything in the sequels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mandalorian is just more obvious about it because the budget is lower and it looks more fake lol Being anti-CGI is so weird though. 99% of CGI effects are unnoticeable and they help make modern movies look great. That's simply not true unless you're including touch-ups. Touch ups are unnoticeable but anyone who's using CGI for primary effects (aka full on characters, flying, violence, etc) vs practical is a noticeable drop-off in the cinematic experience. This isn't debatable. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have improved the cinematic experience for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Actually Avengers might be pretty cool if they were practical effects and wires. It'd feel much more immersive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Star Wars has always been about special effects. If you want it to stay stuck in the ‘70s that’s fine but not realistic. How did you feel about Rogue One? I thought that captured the feeling and aesthetic of the original movie pretty well, aside from the CGI human faces.

The movie obviously would’ve been far better had Davey Jones looked like this: instead of this: special effects ruin films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 You can always find examples that work for one and not the other. If you ask me, it obviously is best in this day and age to find the right blend of both. But on the other side of the coin, honestly, when I compare the 2 most recent live action iterations of The Thing for Fantastic Four, I prefer the practical effects version of the early 2000s version over the CGI version of the more recent Fant4stic. Neither are particularly great mind you, but the practical effects version really aint all that bad. Hell, even the low budget never released '94 Fantastic Four practical effects version of The Thing isn't half bad either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Special effects are cool when you're 12 I'll agree with that. CGI is fine if it's done right (Pirates ain't that bad) but we're talking Star Wars sequels and Avengers here lookin all sorts of fake.

Tarantino, Scorsese films, most Nolan films, Breaking Bad, all use practical for action sequences. Notice how much more bad ass those are? Watching super heros zoom around or giant supreme leader retards takes me out of any movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
