VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.
You’re being purposefully obtuse- so you can have this argument.
Good day to you, sir.
adjective: obtuse
Nope.

Yup. Now i’m going to try to muster the willpower to not post at you again.
*guffaw*
Then show me a film with better CGI at that time…
Lord of the Rings trilogy. Minority Report. Gladiator. The Matrix. Pirates of the Caribbean. Armageddon. King Kong. The Fifth Element. Titanic. Independence Day.
Not that I like CGI and not that those films don’t have some flawed shots but there’s quite a few that have better work than the Prequels in the late 90s/early 2000s. The first Matrix especially, hasn’t dated at all (It helped that a lot was practical).
The first Matrix’s effects look awful now
I…disagree
Now post all the really dated stuff like the squidbots,
Yeah The Machines look pretty bad now. As it pertains to the other two I’d have to see the film again to be fair.
You are giving the other teenagers here a bad name.
Thank god I’m not a teenager anymore.
Also, has this become the official “argue with swagmasta” thread?

It’s almost to the point where we need a twooffour pledge thread.
whoops
69 swagmasta69.
I most certainly do not want to do that 😉

That’s most regretable, friend.
Holy shit I hate and love this thread at the same time. Please continue with this.
swagman is gonna be so embarrassed when he reads his posts again in five or ten years…

I felt embarrassed when you linked that post of me talking about JJ in the TFA thread, honestly.
I just post now and cringe later.
This thread is my masterpiece. And yes, the effects in The Matrix, apart from some environments, are pretty awful, even the bullet time looks pretty strange now. But the film itself holds up very well. The Pirates and LOTR movies still hold up extremely well though.
Not enough people read the EU.

I think the effects work well in context. They don’t really bother me. It kind of adds to the cyber punk aesthetic to have somewhat low-quality CGI for me.
Bringing the thread back to actually RANKING the films, this was my ranking when I was younger:
I liked them all except for TPM. It’s amazing how much one’s opinion can change.

Sorry… nope.
真実
Well you’ve certainly proved him wrong.

Those films work because they had a generally good mix of CGI and practical sets/effects, specifically in Lord of the Rings and Titanic. The second two prequels looked poor because they made no attempt to blend things seamlessly.

Hello pot.

Though there weren’t any environments CG’d in it, the dinos in Jurassic Park were about 5 years ahead of the PT. The PT wasn’t good for its time, most movies just didn’t/don’t spend enough time and money on the CG to make it any good (proven by Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy). The PT probably suffered from having to make so much CGI, not allowing for more time and money to be spent on each shot, but who’s fault was that?

DON’T GIVE UP ON THE SUN. DON’T MAKE THE SUN LAUGH AT YOU.
The Acklay looks better than the JP dinos.
