Lucas excuses the wooden animation as based on the Gerry Anderson Thunderbirds. Wtf?

Did not the creators of South Park release a movie which made fun of that style?

Puppets on wires are not hand drawn animation and neither is bogus cgi rendered like a ps2 cut scene.

I have seen fluid animation that is surprisingly lifelike in Final Fantasy the Spirits Withing and Appleseed: Ex Machina, as well as the Incredibles by Pixar none of which is seen here.

Still the cg comes off as lifeless unlike Live Action or Hand drawn traditional animation.

Animation is still not close enough to replicating real human expression and movement, again the closest thing I have ever seen was spirits withing and that is dated now.

Wall-E will most likely win the Academy Award for animation. Eventually the Clone Wars movie will be in a bargain dvd bin for five bucks.

Another film that is a trial run for pushing the state of the art in Lucas computer devision, a film that lacks a good story and i am sure there are grade schoolers who could write a better story than Lucas he is all washed up.

I mean the dude should have remained retired after Return Of the Jedi. AT least then he would not be shitting all over the good movies he made, and forever ruined the saga with the prequels and special editions neither which was needed or wanted . His legacy is now one of being a pariah instead of a hero to the masses of sci fi fans and film goers.

I think i am glad now that he did not do episodes 7-9 because they would have destroyed the original characterizations Of Luke, Han and Leia. Only to be Replaced with bad dialogue and crappy and useless and moronic cgi, plus he would have had plenty of fart and poop jokes. Perhaps even creating a bad racist character sidekick who is useless and the audience wants to see die a horrible death.

Also Spielberg should retire as well War of the Worlds and Kingdom of the Crystal skull are Turkeys unworthy of his prior good movies.
