  • We love visual effects, especially when they are combined with practical effects and/or practical filming to create a seamless illusion. The power of CGI can be invisible and amazing. This video is a collection of CGI from movies where that is definitely NOT the case. Most of these really make you wonder what they were thinking when they approved these effects. Enjoy!

    Actually good, and still impressive, cgi clips:
    3:21 Harry Potter (Though I am on the fence about this one)
    5:58 King Kong (small dino, not the big ones)
    6:37 Indiana Jones
    7:50 Green Lantern (this one in particular is a terrible example as it’s an impressive cgi-suit)
    8:33 Hobbit (not the most realistically but it’s also a super light elf running across it so… take that as you may)
    8:49 Fantastic Four (managed to take one of the better cgi moments)
    9:10 Beauty and the Beast (though it’s still bad because it’s live action)
    9:50 Aladdin (also still bad because it’s live action)
    These are genuinely well made cgi, either for their time or compared to now as well. What makes people think better or worse for some of these are purely based on their idea of what should and shouldn’t have been attempted, that’s why so many people are disagreeing.
    But if you look at it from an objective standpoint, these are some of the okay or even impressive cgi animations out there.

      In my opinion, good high budget cgi is the cgi that doesn't break the immersion for the movie and let's you enjoy and believe those sequences that are only possible in fiction. In old or low budget movies it's understandable, but in some of the most recent examples that you give it's really obvious that it's cgi. And it's not the artist fault, by the way, it's the studios that often rewrite scenes after they've been animated and make the vfx companies redo them, sometimes few months before the movie comes out and without aditional pay.

      There were/are tactful ways of using CGI and there have been films that have used it very appropriately.
      Like In irreversible (2002) which is an incredible use of CGI (I'll link the vid showing how they did it, if anyone is interested).
      The best examples are usually very hard to spot because it can be abhorrent when you try to be flashy or lazy with it.

      @@AleMaia I looked it up and shockingly, it's actually not an Asylum movie! It was an independent one written, produced and directed by a guy named James Nguyen, who also financed it through his studio. He even tried to promote it at the Sundance Film Festival by handing out flyers from his van, which didn't even have the correct website on it (as apparently he spelled it 'Bidemic').
      Meanwhile, Asylum movies actually have slightly better CGI.
