What’s wrong with the Rathars scene? It was probably the only fully original scene in the film.
I may be repeating myself but… it just took me out of the movie. CGI monsters swallowing characters whole.
Yeah I’m sorry, I think I’ve already asked you that questions a couple of times before. I’m having a hard time to differentiate the two TFA threads, not to mention who I’m talking to.
Those monsters reminded me too much of Men In Black aliens shoehorned into a Star Wars film tbh.
That’s one way to to put it, yea.
I don’t really see that. What exactly is a proper SW monster then?
I mean just look at some of the creatures from Han’s holochess, if any of them had appeared as actual creatures in an SW film they’d look a heck of a lot weirder than the Rathars did.
I do however agree that the CGI was a bit dull, but it’s 2015 so I hardly expected stop-motion creatures. Also Abrams isn’t enough of a risk-taker to achieve the kind of practical effects that some directors are currently managing.
