Am i supposed to be impressed b/c they have good cameras that film clear pictures?
It's 2019, not 1999. I expect that.
Not sure why that was so important for this desert car chase.

Nothing from that movie made me feel anything like i did from an effects standpoint like the Matrix did, or make me marvel at the stunts like i do for Mission Impossible.

He's saying the movie was made of almost 100 practical effects the movies you're talking about were heavily reliant on CGI

Well they weren't good enough to impress me even the slightest.

So you gonna name any modern practical effects movies that give it a go?

Because the big names in it are either dead or moved on to complete CGI.

Ok you're just dumb.

I didn't enjoy the movie at all, but even I can appreciate its amazing use of practical effects and stunt work.

You're backtracking hard now. You said an ignorant, uninformed thing and now you've moved the goal posts. Get yourself together and come back when you're ready.

They used the same amount of CGI in that movie as any other summer blockbuster and yet people can’t accept that fact.

When it was announced Miller said he was going 100% practical effects, no cgi.

Then in production it was 99%.

Then trailers came out and you could clearly see CGI was being used so it was down to 75%.

Then the movie comes out and it’s clear how much was used. Yet people still fetishize this movie as some bastion of the practical effects days of old. It’s just silly at this point.

I don’t care if a movie uses CGI as long as it looks good. There have been wretched examples of CGI in movies this decade (Gods of Egypt chase scene was Syfy channel bad) while some have had groundbreaking cgi (Thanos in IW/Endgame).

Toy Story 4 and The Lion King had absolutely phenomenal CGI. Anyone bitching about CGI in those movies can tie their dick in a knot and piss up a rope IMO. Most moviegoers would be surprised by what is and is not CGI not just in big blockbusters but even movies with budgets under $50 million. Pretty much any fire in a movie or tv show over a foot or so high is CGI and has been for years primarily for safety reasons.

Wonder Woman might be a recent "movie", but she's been kicking arse since the fricking 30s. Anyone trying to imply she's infringing on masculine types is willfully ignorant.
