[Uncanny Antman]

Seems an okay number. 

Fairly low compared to most films of this ilk nowadays, but that just means they did more in-camera stuff, which is what we all seem to be hoping for.  The more done live the better...in theory.

Very true Uncanny Antman, they said they did as much stuff as in-camera as possible. Couple that with the fact that there are at least 400 vfx shots.

Same as AvP

Doesn't really mean anything to me. That can be anything from an Alien tongue to the whole town in CGI.

Yeah, it depends how you define a "visual effects shot". A certain Tom Hanks film had tons of them, but it wasn't famous for being CGI-intensive, specifically because they were things meant to be in the background and just set the scene.

I hate imdb. I've registered three separate times, and I can't get in. And now I've had it with imdb.

Aside from providing the link, can't you also copy text into a quote?

its good if you want to speak to people that just escaped from the mental hospital, or see if an Alien can take an elephant?.......

Just as a comparison, I leave you a site with the latest big FX movies with the amount of shots per movie...

400-500 is fine then, all those movies have heavy effects, we don´t need too much effects, remember it´s in earth in a small town...so the only effects you will see are the predator ship, some shoots of the alien and others of the predator, maybe jumping...then some little explosions and thats it

[sothur]

This is a good number considering the budget and the setting.

What do you think? Will we see more than 400-500 VFX shots in the movie? We know, Colin and Greg are doing new stuff, so...

[jimmylace]

we may see more than that now, but not alot more. this isnt going to be an effects movie as we all know.....
