I truly hate cgi of today. Takes me out the movie or show with cgi cars, backgrounds and doubles.
Cgi served as a tool at one poimt to help put things on screen we hadn't seen before such as T2 with the T1000 and even in the mummy. Was ground breaking stuff. Now it just looks cheap, lame and cartoony.

X 2...... If the CGI sucks,I don`t watch the movie.

Whatever happened to good make-up men like Rick Baker and good special FX ?

Jurassic Park is 30 years old and the dinosaurs still look good.

Yea they do and on real backgrounds. Then in the new trilogy the movies look much more cartoony as a whole, no longer ground breaking. Infact the cgi on the dinosaurs seems to have regressed.

Superman reminds me of a scene from Fight Club where Meatloaf attends a breast cancer meeting

An exceptional artist can create realistic cgi in their house with free programs.

The Flash looks like it's trying to render the characters with bad textures and non-real-world physics.

Why though? Save money?

Save time due to Deadline too close?

Too many reshoots?

I haven't seen the Flash and don't know the context of that scene. Is the whole movie like that? It looks like they're trying to make aspects of that scene look virtual/artificial for some reason.

Check out this realistic environmental render someone did in Unreal Engine 5, which you can download for free(UE5) right now.

If the VFX shots in recent movies look like the were done in a week, it's probably because they were.

The VFX companies place bids based on the number of shots ordered by the studio for a sequence. ( Ex : the Studio needs 3000 CGI shots for one sequence.)

The problem is that the amount of work per shot varies dramatically. The studios couldn't care less though ; to them, a shot is a shot.

Studios don't give a shit about quality CGI. All they care about is pleasing their shareholders and increase the output of superhero movies and reduce the time it takes to make them. They need speed over quality.

That's it.

Working relentlesss hours, doing overtime everyday and meeting unrealistic deadlines are the main factors that flush the VFX companies' performance down the drain.

The suits simply don't give a fuck.

I re-watched the first Blade from 1998 recently - HORRIBLE!! Almost unthinkable that people were taking these FX seriously and not laughably back then

Haha I actually saw this recently too, it's pretty bad.  But back then you didn't know any better.

Or the "Burly Brawl" in Matrix 2.

Also Sil from Species - can you imagine people were scared by this creature back then? Looks like straight out of a 90s video game ;D

There are literally millions of hours of TV just on Netflix alone, many made in the last 4 years

Begs the question what happened during lockdowns?

And when do these actors get time to star in all these series, they must be literally working three shows at a time

Maybe most of the shit we think is real is CGI

You're ignoring influence of the unions.

They want their workers crafts perfectly visible on screen. It's why a cgi aircraft carrier will have almost no shadows and be completely visible on screen. Work can't be hidden under shadows etc even if it should be.
