gasfacevictm Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Yeah, Silent Running is the shit even though it's old. It's got great models in it and the story itself is great. The little robots actually had multiple amputee's operating them inside...peep the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%juice Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 agreed, Moon is fresh. been taking a break from the sci-fi but I'm feeling like finding my stack of Asimov books and digging in for a triumphant return to being an absolute square.

IOU Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 "Moon" is a definite recommend. Apparently Sam Rockwell is a Sci-Fi fan. I think of films only though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasfacevictm Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'll take models over CGI any day. FUCK. YES. Looking back on early "revolutionary" CGI movies like Terminator 2 and shit that people thought were amazing back then just look awful now. They remind me of the effects on cheap TV shows like Xena, The Warrior Princess. Models and sets that were built instead of green screened still hold true to feel and look of the movie even 30 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 So true. There is at least a sense of "realism" involved. I like the feel and look to Moon. For being a low budget indie type flick they really did a great job on the sets and miniatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models and sets that were built instead of green screened still hold true to feel and look of the movie even 30 years later. Very very true, and Terminator 2 isn't even all that bad as a movie since it was written so that all the cgi revolves around T1000, which in turn is explained in the film to be a trippy looking liquid metal thing. That way the viewer expects only the T1000 to look weird as all the other sfx elsewhere in the film are quite ok and mostly models or actual cars exploding. Nowadays they just have this wrong idea that "anything can be done" with computers, so they write shit that is impossible to make look good. Nearly any decent artist or sensible person can tell you that it will NOT look ok if you attempt to generate complex physical phenomena with mere imagination and computers. Even if it's nice looking, it will look stupid cinematographically, colour-wise, and like it was written by someone: "slab falls from roof and makes the staircase collapse to the foreground" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
