Excellent artical.... just goes to show what CGI is really capable of when done properly, and yet again WETA proved they really know how to do that.

the visuals were impressive!  I loved the long shots of the Prometheus when it opens it bay door. The engineers are an amazing blend of practical and digital effects!  Great stuff!

Glad to read all these comments from people who know what they are talking about ;] There is like 20 more hi-end production houses and some are even better than Weta.

Weta is just best known for their work due to mass hype of the movies they worked on.

You seem that you hate everything with even small "hype", don't you? ;)

If they didn't spend millions on effects, the movie would end up as a Sci-Fi channel exclusive...
