Quote from: SM on Jun 11, 2009, 01:54:24 AMI'm struggling to think of bad CG in Indy 4 off hand. I suppose the ants could've been a bit better. One thing that stuck for me - and I really enjoyed Indy 4 - was when they're tearing through the jungle sword fighting and machine gunning etc on nice straight stracks - where only minutes earlier they needed that honking great cutting thing to actually make a track. But that's more a story issue than an effects one.But then I've always ignored the question of how Indy's been trekking for days in South America in Raiders, but runs back to the plane in a couple of minutes.

You guys actually thought the avpr alien (guy in a suit) look better than ANY of the movies that come out recently (that are cgi)? look at lord of the rings, king kong , star trek(that reptilian monster at the ice scene was phenomenal) they are pure GOLD.
QuoteLike Flash Gordon HawkMen awful.
Quote from: J-Syxx on Jun 10, 2009, 10:25:55 AMCGI f**king sucks. It completely ruined the 4th Indiana Jones film. I remember them promising they would only use traditional special effects like the first 3 films. God has Stephen Spielberg f**king lost it.In moderation used stealthily I supposed it could be good, but in almost every film it looks fake as hell. Seriously Godzilla 1985 looks more realistic than CGI does in most films.
Quote from: SM on Jun 11, 2009, 11:54:57 PMYeah, but by the same token there were quite a few CG shots in Hellboy that I found a bit lacking.

Quote from: SM on Jun 12, 2009, 06:00:41 AMNever found any of the Spider-Man effects to be much chop. The first film was particularly appalling.
Quote from: Uncanny Antman on Jun 12, 2009, 07:04:29 AMThere are definitely some pretty dodgy effects in Spidey 1. But then, there are heaps of shots in it that look really great, but those tend to stick in people's minds less than the crummy ones.

Indy 4 is awesome.
