Re: Why do so many people seem to hate cgi?
Worst example of relying on cgi to sell a movie: watching superman crash through hundreds of fucking buildings for 30 minutes in the man of steel. Swear to god he did more damage than Zod in that one. -
Re: Why do so many people seem to hate cgi?
Take it from a CG artist who works with a lot of practical effects people. There's a lot of seething resentment towards digital effects. And not entirely without good reason. The Thing prequel is a good example. Take a look at the movie (or the trailer if you'd prefer not to waste a couple of hours) Now go take a look at… -
Re: Why do so many people seem to hate cgi?
I think a large part of it is that practical effects are such an enjoyable part of the movie making process.

Re: Why do so many people seem to hate cgi?
I took a chance on the "last planet of the apes" movie I was lucky enuff to screen with some of my most notoriously CG allergic friends. And during one of the more breathtaking examples of beautiful realistic animation and lighting I was able to pull off this gem: "It is so much better when they use real apes like this and…
