Have you seen The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)?

Black Panther’s CGI is better than that movie’s. Its CGI was awful.

Exactly.

Think about what the poster is saying with the proper context which shouldn't need explanation most times.

Then post.

This board might be able to discuss if that ever happens.

Crazy how this will be on some headlines.

We have a black family in our neighborhood. We also have a black cat. Every morning the cat runs to their house and does whatever. Think he just shits in their flowerbed.

The SO and I joke that he is going back to his family.

CSB.

Yep.

BP’s CGI is bad and some of the worst in modern movie making.

It is “Superman’s upper lip CGI” level bad.

If it does win, then they're a different type of racist.

Dude that was 2003 bro. 

We are 2018. 

Judge on a scale. 

It is relatively the worst job for a big budget production with the tools available.


Jurassic Park was 1993. Non-cartoony CGI was available by 2003.

You're always working off a sliding scale, but 2003 wasn't the stone age.

I'll just say this too, I don't get all the hate for the CGI in Black Panther. It wasn't incredible, but acting like it was really bad, I never felt like that. People underrate the complete creation of Wakanda from CGI and focus on the action effects too much.

I know that opinion is out of step with this board, though.

Jurassic Park used practical effects.

What are you even arguing?

2018 is light years ahead 2003.

The character models specifically.

It's terrible for modern CGI. We have better models during cutscenes in videogames.

Why wouldn't we focus on the action elements? That is the stuff you really need to nail.

Most of the moving shots of dinosaurs were CGI. The initial T Rex attack is about half and half. There are 63 total CGI shots in JP.

Heck, Lord of the Rings had a completely CGI character the same year the Scorpion King BS I posted happened. Tell me Gollum isn't light years ahead of the Scorpion King.

Beyond that, the character models got a bit video gameish, but they didn't bother me half as much as it looks like they did others. The CGI used to create Wakanda itself was pretty good, IMO, but like I said, I don't think being positive about Black Panther is too popular here.

No, it isn't. I gave you multiple $100 million+ movies that came out THIS YEAR that have much worse CG. To say it's historically bad is laughable.

In addition to the ones I already listed I'd argue Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom also had worse CG at certain points.

He said "ever." No context needed, only the definition of the word "ever." I posted it above. Hyperbole makes for stupid statements.

Can we just nominate every film for every category?

This is getting ridiculous.

Everyone needs a pat on the back.
