Holy shit, some of those stupid extras.

would the star wars prequels have been better if lucas had waited for CGI to be better?
Maybe he would have had more time to think of a script that wasnt complete garbage

Outside of the A-list he just let central casting handle things. Those kids that Yoda was teaching are such a joke.

God I hated that so much.
>>64114342
>would the star wars prequels have been better if lucas had waited for CGI to be better?
The amount of investment he put into the prequels is why CGI is as good as it is at the moment
>>64114386
God this movie was awful. It was the only time I've ever went to a movie and literally seen the greenscreen.
>All the bloom

Even Rome 2 Total War looked better.

No it would have been better if the acting hadn't bee so shit.
>>64114386
>Gandalf: "Legolas Greenleaf!"
Please bookfags for the love of God tell me that isn't his actual last name.
>>64114342
>waiting for CGI
Or, you know, just direct a movie well and use what you have in a good way. Greenscreen is fairly simple to do, what you're looking at is Jedis swinging their swords at nothing with no emotion. Then you have this mentality that if you can recreate something with CG, that means you can really do anything and pretend the gungan battle is just like a battle with real soldiers.
You can make Star Wars with minimal CGI if you want and still have a great movie. No one is interested in that though.
>>64114471

Greenleaf is what his name means when translated.

lolwat, that's surprising to you? CGI is more than just either good or bad. Some things can be good while others are bad. Plastic and metal has been easy as fuck to render whereas believable skin is something we still have trouble with even now
>>64114872

>>64114872

>>64114757
Sharp edges and hard surfaces look more realistic than cgi of other things. That's why the bugs in Starship Troopers still hold up, and why Transformers looks better than TMNT despite being older.
>>64114872
which dr who episode is this?
>>64114872
You know what's funny, it probably would have been cheaper and better-looking to just make a shitty puppet instead of using CG.
>>64114865
that would be really good movie to watch if you're high. 10/10 comedy.
>>64114893
>armchair diplomats
they're Jedi grand masters.
>>64114342
No. The problem wasn't the special effects it was how they were used, and what they were in service of. The clone troopers, for instance. I get that you need CGI to convincingly make it look like there are millions of these assholes running around, but is there any reason not to have a few sets of clone armor to slap on 20 guys all the same height and build, for any shot where you don't need to see millions of them?
Look at lord of the rings, it's doing basically the same thing digitally cloning elements to fill out an army, or using CGI extras for wide shots, and plenty of them aged like milk (Gandalf's charge on helms deep) BUT its a quick scene, and you might not even notice it because whats more important is whats happening in the movie.
Since no one makes you care about a bunch of jedi on the geonosis level of a video game, or the goonga invasion, you don't have much else to do but watch an notice all the faults.
>>64113091
That has to be something from SYFY channel

>>64115200

>>64114686
Holy shit, I thought maybe it was just some kind of artifact or something, then I thought maybe some quick wardrobe malfunction, but no... what the fuck is happening?

This. It's a complete game in and of itself.
>>64115248
>then I thought maybe some quick wardrobe malfunction, but no...
it is that
>>64114872
Whats really weird is that there are a few elements in here that actually don't look bad for what is obviously an ironic low budget shitfest. But then they just start adding more until every frame is so dense.
>>64113091
This just makes me wish for a high budget and faithful adaption of War of the Worlds.

Lucas wanted to make her a love interest for Yoda, before he went for this shitty idea that Jedi can't have wives (in TPM some of the jedi masters have wives, no problem, but when AOTC came, Jedi suddenly are celibate).

thats hardly fair, Moebius and the other big french SF comic artist had worked with Moebius on the original drafts of 5th Element before he made The Professional

The best thing about this is, the CGI models of the tanks (M1A2 Abrams) are based upon old M60 tanks, which were dressed up as M1A2s for other movies (because the army wouldn't lend them any).
So instead of making a CG model of the real tanks, they made models of fake tanks that actually look quite different to the one they are supposed to portray...
