Favorite CGI creation?

[Ultron-5]

Gollum

King Kong

Godzilla

Caesar

The T-Rex

The Lizard

Smaug

The Hulk

 

[galmorzu]

Very tough choice...pretty much think all of those are top notch except for the Lizard.

I think Caesar is easily the most realistic looking on screen in the latest movie, though. I mean, there were many instances where was absolutely shocked while looking at the detail they created in his character.

Kong is another huge fav of mine, as is Smaug and Godzilla.

 

[Quasimod0]

Davy Jones. lol

Out of these I've gotta choose Kong. Every one of these was fantastic though.

 

[Broseph44]

The shark from sharknado

That is real. Look at it. LOOK AT IT!

 

[CGHulk]

King Kong. (2005)

Davy Jones! (2006)

Old Wyvern! (2006)

Neytiri (2009)

The Hulk (2012)

Davy Jones. lol

Davy Jones!

Davy is indeed an awesome one. Love it.

Hands down the T-Rex. Not only one of my earliest film-related memories, but an amazing CGI creation that still hold up today. Granted there is a lot of switching between the CGI and animatronics, but when the CGI is onscreen, I still always feel like I'm looking at a real dinosaur, not a CGI recreation of a dinosaur.

 

[:eek:]

Gollum is easily the most memorable character, even if he perhaps isn't the visually most stunning anymore. I'd say Gollum is the only interesting character in the entire LotR-trilogy.

 

[The Endless]

Gollum and Davy Jones are my favourites. I imagine when i see Dawn and Guardians, Caesar and Rocket will join them.

 

[LizardMan07]

Ceasar is just amazing, really pushed the limits of what CGI is.

Smaug looks so menacing, I think it's the eyes?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

1) T-Rex - still holds up today and far surpasses most current CGI
2) T-1000 - ditto
3) Koba - I actually found him more impressive than Caesar
4) Hulk in Avengers - Not the most realistic CGI but still the most accurate/believable Hulk yet.

 

[Warhammer]

The T-1000 and the T-Rex for sure. There is a reason why those effects still hold up today. And out of the rest, Davy Jones blows them out of the water. I remember when i first found out that it wasn't prosthetics. I was in awe.

 

[redhawk23]

Caesar is indeed wonderfully recognized in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes but man Koba was damned great. Also for some reason, in both films Maurice looks better than pretty much any other ape.

What blows my mind about about the T-1000 is how very little of that character's scenes were accomplished with CGI, even when he's been shot dozens of times and His head and arms are hanging off his torso and flailing around. The T-1000 is always brought up as a great acheivement in CGI when really its more so a triumph of practical effects.

 

[LEOZZTT]

T-Rex still looks ridiculously real.

And I agree about Maurice.

 

[Kirmit]

I voted Hulk but I rate the T-Rex and Caesar very highly.

 

[DACrowe]

Ahem.

Close thread.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Easily Gollum. He isn't just some creation in a computer. Andy Serkis gives a really great performance as the character. He's way more than just some special effect, and might be the best character in the films (it is probably between him and Gandalf).

 

[DACrowe]

I actually think Samwise Gangee is a pretty great character.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I actually think Samwise Gangee is a pretty great character.

Sam is great too. So we can maybe throw him into the argument as to best LOTR character.

 

[The Endless]

The back and forth argument between Gollum's two personalities in The Two Towers is amazing. Both disturbing and hilarious.

 

[Pickleweasel]

lol why is Lizard in there? The others are tough to pick from

 

[Boom]

T-Rex by a mile.

 

[TX85]

T-Rex and the Apes from Rise&Dawn

 

[kedrell]

Still gotta go with Gollum on this one. If Hulk was an actual character like he is in the comics then it'd be a no brainer for me(what with him being my all time favorite fictional character and such) but alas we're not there yet.

 

[CGHulk]

Didn't vote since there's no Davy Jones!
