Does this mean more films will have extra scenes to discuss how great Chinese things are? Like in Iron Man 3 where the surgeon that saves Tony Stark's life has a phone call about how great milk in China is?

I agree warcraft was pretty terrible but am I the only one who enjoyed the new Independence Day? It shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Warcraft. That part with Jeff Goldblum in the spaceship when he starts to go fast was pretty awful acting though.

You're wrong about that, the cutscenes for Starcraft and Warcraft 3 are still impressive.

How did they gently caress it up? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlVSJ0AvZe0 This was made like what, 30 years ago, and all they had to do was add another 80 minutes to it and it would have made a bazillion dollars. How do they gently caress something so easy up?

Sonofsilversign posted:huh thats actually really interesting thanks This has been going on for a long time. My personal favorite was Transformers 4, the moment I realized Michael Bay's RAH RAH RAH USA USA USA was all pandering bullshit, because the minute China became more profitable the end of the film became RAH RAH RAH CHINA IS loving AWESOME RAH RAH RAH CHINA MILITARY KICKS rear end. Of course that movie also took 5 minutes out to stick an advertisement in for a Beats Pill speaker

Zzulu posted:The whole world has to endure american things constantly if they want to see a blockbuster If they just wanted to do stuff all about China because China, eh, whatever. The problem is they are now editing and censoring movies for Chinese markets, and they only want stuff that can hit broad multi-markets. In other words we won't get Chinese lore and interesting concepts, we'll just get "EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND AN EXPLOSION." SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:Does this mean more films will have extra scenes to discuss how great Chinese things are? Like in Iron Man 3 where the surgeon that saves Tony Stark's life has a phone call about how great milk in China is? The Chinese release has like, 5-6 minutes more footage of his Chinese Doctor and his brave super-awesome Chinese staff, from what I understand. And yes, expect a lot of movies to suddenly go to China and praise the gently caress out of it and not ever, ever, ever show one flaw with China. Ironically said movies are free to poo poo all over America, so probably some of that for contrast. ED: In a decade none of this will matter because TV is kicking the utter poo poo out of film right now in quality, the special effects gap is rapidly closing and people rather have a cool ongoing thing with several hours per season than a 2-hour movie. Movie theaters are dying for a reason. As China TV still sucks poo poo and is censored to hell, China is still into movies, and are the only way for these ludicrous 300 million dollar movies to truly be profitable, even the successful ones. So I kind of understand why this bullshit is happening. You're not seeing the beginning of a bold new era of pro-China film, you're seeing the death scream of the industry.

Zzulu posted:IMAX is going to launch VR theatres soon. I think the industry is going to try and make VR-cinema a thing to keep butts in seats That's such a dumb idea. Not because the idea of a VR Theater is dumb, 'cause it's not, but making people drive to a theater to sit in the VR theater is.... short sighted? I mean everyone will have some sort of headset in 10 years, why the gently caress would you leave your couch? Is this the same marketing plan as those old Nintendo games that charged a quarter in arcades, for the kids too poor to own a Nintendo? ED: Actually going full on digital-distro with new releases using home-theater headsets might actually be the one thing to save movies as we know them, in the long run.

I believe the idea is that IMAX will use better tech than the stuff you can use at home (unless you are filthy rich).quote:IMAX reportedly plans to open six VR locations worldwide in malls and multiplexes before the end of 2016, with the first destined for Los Angeles. After that, the company wants to expand to China. The venues will use VR headsets created by Swedish company Starbreeze which boast a wide and immersive field of vision (210 degrees compared to 110 degrees for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive). Starbeeze recently announced it was teaming up with Taiwanese firm Acer to develop the headsets. quote:IMAX chief executive Richard Gelfond told The WSJ that he imagined that the VR content would be tied to existing movie franchises, that they would last around 10 minutes and cost between $7 and $10. The idea, suggests Gelfond, is to create a VR experience that's better than what you can get at home — the same way that a movie theater is better than your living room TV.

Zzulu posted:I believe the idea is that IMAX will use better tech than the stuff you can use at home (unless you are filthy rich). 10 minutes for $7 seems odd, and their big tech boost of a huge FOV is... something? It sounds like it'd be a fish-eye lens at that point. I mean for gently caress's sake, Playstation VR will be in the public's hands for not a terrible amount and even those of you who hate headsets / mock them for not being cool enough for your ultra-cool lifestyle of cool will own a loving headset within a decade. It doesn't help streaming services including Hulu and rumored Netflix are looking into VR support (Hulu's is already quite good, I tried a demo of it at a trade show). ED: Crazy tech prediction time: In the future, movie crews all have to wear color-coded clothing so they can be digitally removed from the scene later, because movies will have to film in 720 degrees. I've already seen a bunch of 720 degree video (again, mostly at trade shows) with VR headsets, and it'll be the future. Oh, and effects budgets might have to go up since now they're having to render crap happening BEHIND you in blockbusters. Anyone who says that it's a waste and won't happen (for action movies at least) has never had full range of vision in a car observing actors right behind their shoulder during a car chase or the like. Once you've used it, there's no denying it's going to be huge eventually. Ironically those 4DX style cinemas might still have a reason to exist since I've heard nothing but good thing about attempts to combine VR with physical movement; that Six Flags roller coaster is on my list to check out. It sounds awesome despite the fact you'd think "Covering your eyes defeats the point of a roller coaster." Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Sep 14, 2016 |

Independence Day was bad but at least they knew that, they didn't take it seriously and it was so over the top it was sorta entertaining. Warcraft was too loving serious and awful and not even the entertaining kind of trainwreck.

I didn't watch this movie because it got bad reviews. I'm not gonna watch the second Warcraft movie either. I will watch the third one because there's gonna zombies and a zombie king and then a bunch of seven foot tall purple women. WC3 was the only good Warcraft. WoW is bad, but sometimes it's about WC3 Stuff and not about Orcs and Humans 69ing eachother all day, and then it's almost okay.

as far as CGI green monster man movies go, the new Turtles movie is a much better choice, everything about it is better from the pacing to the story to the characters.
