This movie looks like it may be promising. It opens Aug. 26.
Whats wrong with CGI? I adore CGI. I am or was an animation student. I think it is amazing what they can do with a computer. But then again I have seen shows were CGI was thought to be used but actually wasn't. Some films like to trick the aduence. But still CGI is the new step in set design. New things happen and take over and eventually in a few years from know people will not care if something is CGI or not.Doctorthingit said:After seeing the TV previews, I'm as usual not very interested in seeing a new movie. Already too much CGI for my taste.
CGI isn't terrible in and of itself, it's just that too many movies rely heavily on it and do nothing about filling plot holes, having a good cast with a good script, and making it look nothing more than a sophisticated (In some cases, not in all) cartoon, when everything else is based at least on reality in the rest of the frames. That is the main problem with CGI: Studios throw it up on the screen when everything else is ravelling away faster than a cheap sweater from the Salvation Army.Lilith said:Whats wrong with CGI?

You're right Lilith. That's true in my case many times as well. I might still give it a go. I've enjoyed plenty of stuff the critics called crap. I was just hoping for more positive reviews. Hate to waste $40+ for my family of five to see it on the big screen if it's really only a rental quality flick.Lilith said:Maybe not to me. I don't always agree with people that review films anyway.
I am going on Sunday. I liked Van Helsing a lot. Most people hated it but I enjoyed it. I enjoy films that most people consider "crap".ScareFX said:You're right Lilith.
