Why has CGI become so crappy?
And, most importantly, why do we tolerate it?
I won't comment on the acting, direction, editing, or even the plot-it's Godzilla vs. Kong, in any case-but I will comment on the terrible CGI in movies of the last couple of years, like 'The Flash.'
It seems like CGI artists have given up on trying to make photorealistic effects and replaced them with crappy visuals from video games of the previous decades.
Bad compositing (the mix of CGI with live action or other elements), unrealistic coloring, unnecessary flares, cartoonish movements, and... well... you can forget about physics.
This movie feels like the opening of a video game from the 2000s. The first 'Jurassic Park' from 1993 is far more convincing. You can't watch and have an emotional connection with movies like this.
If it's supposed to be a cartoon or animation, just say so.
If we continue to endorse and support creators who don't care about quality, then it's on us.
Perhaps they know that the end is coming for them due to AI and stopped caring.
Overall: Not just avoid, but punish movies like this one. Maybe they'll start trying more.
