seven in running for 2007 visual effects oscar.

I'm gonna say Transformers takes the statue.

 

Transformers will probably win but I can't believe Bourne 3 and Evan Almighty are still in and Spidey 3 isn't.

 

I was not impressed by the FX in Revolutions at all and they didn't save that poor ass movie.

To me FX have to work in conjunction with the movie, and even if it has the best FX, if the movie sucks it doesn't deserve a nod.

 

Transformers for the mother****ing win. Why are "Bourne" and "Evan Almighty" nominated? Their visual effects were nothing special. And "I Am Legend"? The zombies looked fake as hell!

 

I agree. The movement, when they were climbing walls, was totally unreal...

 

Quite surprised Spiderman 3 isn't in there.

 

I'm hoping either Pirates or Transformers wins.

 

I don't really see why I Am Legend got nominated the effects were okay but not great. I think it goes to 300 or Transformers.

 

Seriously?

The award is for FX work ... The quality of the film in general does not really matter.

 

how Evan Almighty was nominated, but not Spidey 3 is beyond me. Sandman ALONE was better than everything in Evan Almighty.

 

It would have been if the rest of the effects were on par with Sandman's "birth". The effects and detail for that were awesome and imo the best part of the movie. Other than that the rest of the effects looked just Ok. I think minus the Sandman birth that Spider-Man 2 had better visuals.


Transformers FTW!

 

I hope 300 wins!!!

Why wasnt spiderman 3 in the running? sandman rising was better then anything in the Bourne Ultimatum.

 

i say either 300 or Transformers should win.

 

To me, it doesn't even matter that Spider-Man 3 wasn't nominated, as it probably wouldn't have won. Its effects were not on par with "Transformers" or "Pirates 3".

 

SM3 would not have won compared to Transformers (I think it was as good as Pirates 3) or 300, which while less complex, had the best overall effect on the movie it represents. I have no idea why Evan Almighty or Bourne (while great, not CGI heavy) are up there. As for SM3, I think the birth of Sandman, the first two Sandy fights, the birth of Venom and the first Peter/Harry fight were all impressive enough to warrant a nomination, but I guess the movie was so disappointing for most people (I'm one of the few w ho liked it) that the Academy felt the ned to pre-emptively snub it.

Oh well, Transformers deserves this one anyway (mind you I am ambivalent about the movie, but the effects were impressive).

 

Transformers have my favorite effects all year. Pirates might win though.

 

Doesn't matter what's nominated because Transformers should have this in the bag already. That movies effects were beyond incredible, the entire movie I never had that "this is CGI or this is an effect" thought and considering the big draws of the movie were nothing but a special effect there's no reason why it shouldn't win.

 

Transformers for the win!

 

I liked it. They're supernatural creatures it's not suppose to look real.

I think Transformers is going to take though.

 

Either Transformers or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End definitely deserve the award. Either way, ILM is the winner.

 

To me it's about how the FX truly enhance the movie and work with the story in harmony. If a bad movie is just a platform for fancy FX, IMHO it does NOT deserve the nod.

That said, I'd say X-men 2 was overlooked for the BAMF effect alone. Worked perfectly with the story and the movie, and that sequence is criminally underrated.
