Why do all new movies with CG kinda look shitty. I mean, maybe it’s just me, but the T-REX and Raptors in the JP movie look way more realistic than new movies supposedly featuring “cutting edge” special effects.
Maybe it’s just because it was all the way back in 94 and my young mind was more easily swayed, but it seems like CG has downgraded substantially from the pressures it used to put on itself.
Take District 9 for example. I thought this movie was extremely enjoyable and really well done, but it’s undeniable that some parts just looked FAKE.
Actually…….upon further pondering District 9 had pretty excellent special effects.
SO – Then what about Spiderman…he looked so fake swinging trough the city in practically every movie.
Due to my lack of concrete evidence, I’m just going to say that I fondly remember back in the 80′s when the film makers had to create their own animatronic wonders in JIM HENSON’S CREATURE SHOP.
They were the same geniuses who created David Bowie’s “package” in Labyrinth.
But does anyone remember when the T-REX ATE THE GOAT?

District 9′s CGI was impressive considering that it only had a budget of $30 million.
in jurassic park a combination of cg and animatronics were used (the making of is really good). I think this alternate use of cg and real models blurs the line between them while watching. although i have to agree, even the cg dinos do look amazingly real and i’ve been wondering why they look so fake in other movies (eg.: King Kong, Land of the Lost…)
