The cgi in this looks terrible

Picked up the book last night... I'll let you guys know how it is. In the meantime... Hugh Grant. Yeah.

Makes sense. Since trailers always feature CGI heavy films in their utmost finished quality. Like the football field destruction in TDKR.

Fair point, but Ive always felt like Wachowki CGI looks like an outdated game console. I was just watching Reloaded the other day and was shocked at how horrible the CGI was when Neo fights the many smiths.

Considering the time it was made, I think the CGI was done well.

Yup. Even LOTR cgi looks badly outdated now.

 

[BuddhaWasABat]

It looked great when it came out but I think it looks pretty bad now. Then of course you have Revolutions and the special effects in that always looked bad to me even at the time.

Anyways though, I do have quite a bit of hope for this. I have a friend who's read the book and he's told me about it and I'm very interested in the concept. I want this to be good. I just got a few issues. Issue number 1 is the cast. Besides Hanks and Hugo nobody excites me (I mean Hugh Grant?). Issue number 2, the last Wachowki film I liked was Reloaded, and their only great films are Bound and The Matrix. They can pull it off if they don't screw around, but that's all they do anymore. I also don't know a thing about this Tom Tykwer so I have no idea if his involvement is a plus or a minus.

positive early reactions

alot of people praise the editing which i think is a must for this type of film

 

[BuddhaWasABat]

Good to know.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I don't know, it seemed more mixed to me. Some people liked it and calling it the best, some saying that it's not going to be a successful movie with critics or audiences, and some saying that it's a complete mess.

But most of them are saying it's great on the technical side.

Second Official Trailer

 

[redhawk23]

The scenes in Reloaded could have been less cgi reliant. If they had stuck more to how they handled action scenes in the first one it would have held up a lot better.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I am hoping this movie is better than the initial reports are, because I really admire it when filmmakers take huge risks like this. Last year, Another Earth and Tree of Life were among my top films, so this one looks right up my alley.

 

[Ultimatehero]

They did it. That 2 trailer rocks, same as the longer one (they originally, I think, had difficulties with that thus the 7 minute one - or that's how they introduced the 7 minute one).

 

[Rowsdower!]

Awesome. Really love what I'm seeing from this.

split reactions just like i thought it would some love it and some dont

Not too split, most of the reactions seem positive. Some loving it.

 

[dark_b]

we as fanboys always hope for 100% positive reactions. but impossible with taste .there is always someone who likes it different.

it would be the same wtih all the good scifi movies. terminator,robocop,star wars,.....

even if its a bad movie i will watch it . they deserve the money because they tryed something different and took big risks. they invested a lot of their own money.

 

[Project862006]

^exactly

it is about tastes soemthing that is subtle can be boring to someone else

something that is over the top can be something that was in tune with the tone for someone else

etc.

someone can find something very funny while someone else will say it fell flat

not everyone is the same and if they were it would be a boring world we live in

Devin Faraci liked the movie. no suprise here. he likes movies that take big risks and try something different.

i looked up when i will be able to watch the movie. it looks like i will not get it in the theater. which is a disaster. i will not watch a Wachowski movie

Tentatively set for February 21st 2013 in Australia. Same opening day as Arnold's Last Stand. Damn you distributors.
