CGI films taking over the industry.

this, IMO, will be the death of cinema. i hope we never come to the age where actors become "obselete." CGI movies are not real movies. don't get me wrong, i have nothing against movies like Wall-E, Toy Story, etc... it's movies like The Avatar or Beowulf that try to be hyper realistic. it makes the movie feel very flat and devoid of emotion. you can't appreciate an actor's or actresses' talent besides their voice overs.

That and special effects, I think people should use CGI sparingly and just try to make their special effects without it, in my honest opinion, A New Hope's effects look better than Episode III's effects, why? Because they look more human, more believable, and aren't easily spotted out as CGI.

CGI Is the future and its here to stay, Get use to it :P

Beowulf might have been better in live action, but Avatar looks like it is better suited for CGI. I don't think it is taking over(besides in special effects), but just opening another avenue for creative expression. CGI may even become like the western equivalent of anime.

Did you spot all the CGI in clover field? they mixed it up ,that scene were they run out of the apartment and smoke every were and people walking by all injured ,only if you looked hard at the faces you could tell it was CGI

No, it won't be. Think of all those, you know, "type" of movies that won't have CG "actors" in them.

What I say is true though. :P

District 9's CG was pretty much perfect IMO. More CG should try to aspire to be as well integrated as D9's.

Just ask yourself this, would you rather watch a CGI-actor or a real actor?

I would rather see human "actors" than cartoon "actors." Seriously.

No, special effects will be the lifeblood of the industry. Special effects make it more difficult to pirate movies.CptJSparrow

How so?

agree, that was probably the only time i was emotionaly attached to a cgi character

The problem I have with CGI is the application. It seems to me that when movie makers know something is possible in CGI, it should be done, no question. There's no thought taken as to whether it's actually plausible or not in real life. There has to be an element of believability. That to me makes a movie, I have to believe that it's within the possibility of being realistic, and many movies today that utilize CGI push it.
