Toomas and StrangeFate: I too would be excited if they were pushing the boundaries of CG, if they were doing a good realistic full 3D movie instead of only Pixar style. The problem is they're doing it badly. They're not pushing the boudaries. They're not (at least in this trailer) doing CG characters as well as many other…
I'm kinda glad some people are exploring CG and pushing it. It has a way to go but so did and do games. If noone is willing to get dirty it will never get anywhere. Looking at the prices of actors i can see why anyone would prefer to use CG alternatives... specially when it comes down to showing skin, it's like you pay…
I have to agree with everyone on this, creating cg characters to look like their real life actor counterparts just seems stupid. Plus, the trailer looked completely lifeless and boring.
i think this movie would have looked a LOT better with real actors and not crappy wooden cg. i don't think a single shot in that movie had any life in it. all looked dead.
this trailer confuses me. is the entire thing cg? the quality seems to vary wildly from scene to scene, and sometimes from actor to actor within the same scene. grendel looks like a mummified gollum.
What is the point of this? Shelve the models so we can see a new movie starring Jolie and Hopkins in 100 years? Why not just have real people in this movie? So incredibly stupid and excessive. We're in the 80's of CG here folks.
Like others have said, if you are going to use the exact likeness and voice of an actor, then why not just shoot them on film? At least they get to reuse all thier polar express tech, lighting and, enviroments. But who can really complain after seeing CG Angelina.
