Best and Worst CGI Ever seen in a movie????

[scarlet-witch]

The CGI Shark in Soul Surfer always sticks out.

 

[Reel-Man]

What a crappy way to go out as Bond for Pierce Brosnan.

 

[Storm Knight]

The explosions at the end of Equilibrium are ghastly to look at.

 

[RomanticPenguin]

surely the scorpion king cgi takes the crown?

The CG and visuals in Justice League are horrible. Some of the worst I've ever seen for such a big budget movie.

And you know what else? The whole CG mustache thing isn't even what I would call the worst part about Justice League.

Agree. Some of the CGI in the film is atrocious.

Especially Steppenwolf, Cyborg and some of the red skies in the final battle.

Unacceptable for a major film in 2017 with a $200+ million budget.

 

[RomanticPenguin]

300+ million* apparently

 

[Filmfan93]

300+ million* apparently

Even worse, then.

Doesn't speak well for the film's budget allocation team.

Compare it to films with similar budgets and released much earlier, all with better CGI:

The Avengers - released 2012

POTC: AWE - released 2007. 10 years before JL - better CGI

King Kong - released 2005. 12 years before JL, with $100 million lesser budget

Strange to me how Dead Man's Chest and Davy Jones and his crew still some better CG and motion capture work than some of the biggest movies I've seen in the last few years. Movie is almost 12 years old now.

Behold, the most glorious thing anyone can ever see.

All of the recent Planet of the Apes films have been well done but really I think War for the Planet of the Apes is a class all of its own. Just incredible.

Here is a fantastic presentation on their process.

As far as best CGI goes; Jurassic Park was ahead of its time in CGI, it's almost hard to tell the difference between when the dinosaurs are animatronics and when they are computer generated.

Worst. The rock as the scorpion king. That was the Worst CG I have EVER seen for a big budget film.

Brandon Routh superman returns, superman flying in the clouds.

The baby in the last twilight film. I don't know what they were thinking. Maybe they were going for a unnatural look? fail.

Best. Thanos in infinity war and end game. Pure gold.
Gollum in lotr's. It still holds up.
Davy Jones in potc.
