Prometheus Set & Location Pictures

[Gash]

I don't get it.  Why don't these guys just hire Industrial Light and Magic to render all of their props in CGI?  It seems a little dated and too much work altogether to build set pieces like this in 2011.

Because they want it to look real?

Agreed that the prequels have some seamless imagery, but at the same time, something rang as hollow A LOT when viewing a large portion of those films. That feeling I did NOT experience while watching the LOTR films, and Avatar. But, pardon me, defend away

I gave up trying to explain to people about the sticky thread.  If folks can't take 2 minutes to read previous posts then that's their loss.

i agree with the hollow feel but again i think that was down to bad acting and interaction from the real characters rather than the cgi itself.

If the ACTORS can't see their surroundings, how the F*CK are they supposed to act??

some manage it in many movies and some dont, this may be down to the director but again i wouldnt blame the actual cgi for it.

You don't want Actors, mate...You want MIME-ARTISTS!!!

Wow, the lack of Prometheus information has really brought the forum down to some lowest common denominator arguments and off topic rubbish. Between this SETS V CGI debate and the other thread turning into list your favourite androids.

That trailer needs to come quick and purify this nest.

er no, the acting was pretty terrible all the way through the movies, even in the parts with no cgi characters.

Alright enough with the practical vs cgi arguments, Ridley Scott will make the film his way and not what the fans want, Hell he could make most of the film cgi and i bet you lot would still watch it, i myself prefer practical effects over cgi but cgi does have its place, its used when practical effects are not sufficient in bringing something to life but i'll agree that it is at times overused.
Now lets get back to topic and talk about the set and location pics.
Right someone mentioned that one of sets looked like the Nostromo and i sort of agree, its has a similar design to passage ways and doors of the ship, kind of makes sense since its supposed to take place 30 years before Alien, there was another pic that i can't really remember because i only saw it once but it looked like the wall from the derelict not really sure though. one report i read was that the film will explain the mystery of the derelict and the space jockeys so maybe that pic was supposed to be of the derelict.

[Vulhala]

Nero is right. Move along folks.

[ThisBethesdaSea]

The issue here is that too much CGI feels flat, like an entire dead eye set. There was one scene in Attack of the Clones where Samuel L walks in to the senate chamber...and everything had been comped in, shot separately. Even though the effects were good, so much of the scene/s had been composed from so many different things the entire scene came off empty adding to a film that feature tons of such scenes.

[Vulhala]

Again, discuss the sets in the picture please. Not the CGI that may or may not be there in the final product.

Dude, relax...either answer my question or move on...I don't need a lesson on how to navigate a forum...
