Ohhh. So you were talking about design similarities to a specific CG element of a specific older movie,

Nah, I was using that specific older movie as an example of how I thought the design and CGI looked. You're awfully worked up over this.

Yeah I can't understand why they didn't pick the literally omnipotent dude who killed two countries in the blibk of an eye and has never really been popular except when he a) had no human component and b) was written by a theology student to basically just do a comic about moral dilemmas for the justice league movie

This is precisely what I like about his design. The character literally made from alien tech visually fits in better with the CG hellscape of the alien invasion. That seems appropriate.

Fair enough. With that rationale it makes some sense, but I really feel like they could've simplified his design a little bit, especially in the midsection area. As I said earlier, maybe it'll look better in motion, but the stills I've seen doesn't inspire much confidence.

Except where it'd be the opposite in Armond White's review because I'm convinced the dude is a contrarian.

That would be pretty funny. Thought that sort of retreat from making any kind of direct claim about a movie, which risks the embarrassment of being shown to be wrong, to purely focus on subjective impressions of personality, is more of an Internet shitposter sort of thing.

Stop telling people on a pay-to-post movie discussion forum that they're worked up for wanting to discuss a factual statement about a movie, please.

Also I don't like the aesthetics of the new Cyborg. Has nothing to do with the quality of the CGI, he just looks over-done and busy.

Totally. It's just that "over-done and busy" look is what makes it come off as dated CGI to me. I wasn't trying to imply that the CGI itself was actually bad, rather, that the design made it look like too obviously CGI (you know - like how CGI used to be, where it was always 110% obvious what was and wasn't computer generated). By contrast, plenty of things in those trailers ARE obviously CGI (because they can't be real) but they don't LOOK obviously CGI. Does that make sense?

I think what you're trying to say is that it's very clear that it's not a practical costume because it's too fiddly and doesn't move naturally (perhaps intentionally, but nonetheless there is an air of unreality about it). Yes?

Sir Kodiak
May 14, 2007






Yeah, that makes more sense, though The Matrix's Sentinels, which are blobs with tentacles, don't strike me as being that fiddly. For 2000s CGI, I'd associate that overly-busy look more with the Transformers series, which is all gears within gears to the point that the characters are just masses of whirling polygons.
