The CG Tharks in Disney's John Carter were great.

the rock's CGI is meant to be terrible for comedy.

RDJ wasn't the best example. Douglas is almost perfect though

Is RDJ younger in that pic?

Disney is better at literally everything than Warner Brothers.
>>
>>71158258
Because bad cg looks cold and blue tinting has a cold visual effect on the image. It's doubling up on the problem.
>>
The Michael Douglas one is turning a grown man into a younger grown man. The Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart ones are turning grown men into kids. It's going to look more jarring.

It's 2 guys doing the same movements and then stitched together

A lazy version of this is RDJ's floating head in CW
>>
>>71159890
and the places where the stitching isn't exact is cleaned up, with, you guessed it, CGI.

The CGI for Davy Jones was dank as fuck, it didn't even seem like CGI but prosthetics from the future.
>>
>>71158083
That rock legitimately pisses me off
>>
Why is the black guy CGI
>>
>>71160275
Because it's Kevin Hart CGI'd to look like a high schooler.
>>
Better yet, why are Disney movies so infantilized?
>>
Because Disney have ILM and Lola in their pockets
>>
>>71160419
Because their movies and theme parks are for kids.

That doesn't change the fact that their CGI work is the best, and it's not even vs. Warner Brothers...they outdo Fox and Sony as well.

Let's ask Armond.
Basically Disney indoctrinated a generation of manchildren and the company has them by the balls.

That, and in the case of Douglas and RDJ in Civil War, there are many sources of their younger faces from movies. I wager that's what they use to create the convincing illusion.

Lola's de-aging in the Marvel movies is compositing too.

Can we deage Armond?

Who else thought that bear was from "The Revenant"? Dont lie.

Do ya think the child sacrifice has something to do with it?

because they have the money to buy all the good talent. my old fluid mechanics teacher had multiple PhD's and spent 20 years doing CFD. Now he works for Disney making 5x as much and all he does is help them make believable water or tatooine sandstorms.
>>
>>71158083
doomsday looks fine, and im pretty sure the rock one is intentionally bad. Monkey image looks low quality and not sure if the nigs cgi or what.

Pan is terrible tho
>>
>>71158373
except good comic based films :^)

That looks good when he isn't talking.

Davy Jones is the best CGI of the 21st century. Nothing has topped it since.

Fun fact: John Knoll won the Visual Effects Oscar for Dead Man's Chest. He is also famous for being the visual effects supervisor on the Star Wars prequels.
>>
>>71160555
And LucasArts too now.
>>
>>71160905

I'm glad he's getting more work.

When was the last movie that featured Bear as a key character?
>>
>>71162584
Jungle Book
>>
>>71162697

I meant before The Revenant.

Jungle Book was Bear's big comeback film.

People shit on the quality of the effects in the Star Wars prequels but a lot of what we have now wouldn't be nearly as good if it wasn't for those movies.

Man, John Carter deserved so much better marketing than the crap it got.
Was a surprisingly fun popcorn flick.
Though the story could have used some more help. Wouldn't have known dick about what was going on if some kind /co/mrade hadn't been posting a bunch of the comics like pic related leading up to it.
>>
>>71158200
sure
>>
>>71162839
I thought the problem people had was primarily an over reliance on CG rather than it being especially bad
>>
>>71163124
A lot of it is really bad and Lucas was leaning on it far too much in place of building as many sets as he did before.
It got to the point where it was overly suffused with CGI that nothing that mattered could get through and the audience got tired of it. The special effects were no longer special.
This has been a trend ever since CGI first started getting really big.
>>
>Central Intelligence
>The fat dorky kid loses a ton of weight and gets muscular as fuck

Sure makes sense

>He also gets 2 feet taller

Completely took me out of the trailer, 0/10
>>
>>71163034
>Was a surprisingly fun popcorn flick.
It was a really corny and cliche kino. Disney played it way too safe, and they made a film that didn't have anything new or interesting about it.
>>
>>71163124
Well yeah, how it's used is very important.

I don't know how right I am in saying this but I would assume the decision to have special effects in virtually every shot will only lower the quality of the CGI overall. When things are glaringly CGI it's detrimental to the movie
>>
>>71158132
Yup
>>
>>71158207
I don't know, I thought it was pretty spot on.
>>
>>71158474

He already looks like a high schooler though. I mean he's shorter than most middle schoolers.
