Spider-Man: Far From Home Looks Like A PS2 Game In One Special Feature

For home releases of big movies, the special features usually contain cool deleted scenes, short films, and featurettes. With Spider-Man: Far From Home arriving digitally, we got to watch a segment featuring pre-visual effects, which is the Potato Mode of movies.

The thought of watching a fight sequence without polished FX seems like a bad idea, but the five pre-vis special features on the digital release of Far From Home are exceptionally entertaining to watch because the graphics look like a PS2 game.

The feature offers a side-by-side comparison between the working product and the finished product, which you can see directly above. Just look how MJ awkwardly had her hand on Spider-Man's shoulder. Looks like romance to me, right?

Also included are a few other moments we found rather amusing, like when Ned was trapped on the Ferris wheel, waving his hands around in fear. There's also a "hero shot" of Spider-Man and one of Mysterio, and it all looks like a weird mod for Grand Theft Auto III, which probably exists somewhere on the internet.

In total, around eight minutes of pre-visual effects sequences are included in the special features for the movie, with the Molten Man sequence making up the bulk of it at just over four minutes. Typically, the public doesn't get to see these, so if you're into how these FX-heavy movies come together, you'll want to watch them all. Even if you're not, you'll probably just want to watch them because of how weird everything looks.
