What a shame. The story of Tetris is actually pretty compelling but that looks like absolute poo poo.

Just imagining all the stunt work and setup that went into what looks to be a car chase and it's for Tetris.

On the flip side, this premieres tomorrow and I'm so so excited for it.

After looking through reviews, this definitely isn't my reading. The primary negative take seems to be that it's shallow, but the majority of critics seem to enjoy it.

Taron Egerton seems to make everything he touches uncanny valley if thats the right term.
Just not believable.

Edit: And as with the Nike movie, its taking a story and adding unneeded poo poo.
Trying to link the collapse of the soviet union to car chases to Tetris!

Alden Ehrenreich, Ansel Egort and Taron Egerton all sound like names that were created by a Markov chain.

Josh Hutcherson is the only name that sounds semi normal.

My guess here is that Marvel didn't adjust their workflow for The Volume and had a rough time having poo poo ready for the filming. None of this 'we'll do a placeholder landscape and then VFX can crunch for 42 days and get it good".

So the in-camera poo poo ends up looking worse.

Slotducks posted:

is cgi regressing?
The over-reliance on it and tight scheduling makes it a crutch that papers over bad filmmaking.

Like Cameron probably had very distinct ideas on where and how to use the T-1000 CGI based on what ILM (or whomeverthefuck) told him was feasible. And there was still a nod towards practicals for a lot of things like the bullet craters during fights and poo poo.

All I could think of while watching that Tetris trailer was Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, something I never think about.

It's not regressing, it's that overworked VFX shops are being asked to do more with less time and less money.

It does share a bit of DNA with John Wick (revenge, a good dogge) but Sisu goes much harder. It's the guy who did Rare Exports if that's a selling point, and has a similar tone and sense of humour.
