Can anybody recommend any truly kick-ass CG or CG aided movies? Come on, LOTR was good. I'm sure the others will be just as good, as far as escapist fare goes. As for Star Wars, I don't know about you but I'm kind of Star Warsed out. Know what I mean?
Got a tip for us?

What was wrong with Harry Potter. As an adult, I've read each one of the books and really enjoyed them and to my surprise the movie was quite good. Was is Citizen Kane? No. But was it entertaining and fun, yes. The only good part of the Fellowsh1t of the Rings were the trailers. Did I mention that the only noise from the audience was the applause for the Episode I trailer and the sigh or relief from the audience FotR was it was over.
I would rate Beast Master 2 as a better movie than FotR.
I can't wait to Anakin kill Mace Windo (I think this is who he attacks in the end of the previous trailer).

final fantasy was the worst in terms of plot...but one of the best in terms of cgi. all it was was a showcase of what they can do now. i fell asleep in that one. "oh cool..they dont need real actors anymore...looks almost real, sweet...man but other than that im bored...im going to sleep now *yawn*
*strecth* *yawn* *strectch* etc. etc.
*strecth* *yawn* *strectch* etc. etc.
different strokes for different folks..i guess.
i prefer movies made from books made from authors that have some serious intellectual merit... ie. c.s. lewis, jrr tolkein, t.s. elliot... etc. etc.
Good CG Movies...
Lest we all forget, a certain CEO of a certain fruit-named company also chairs a CG company called Pixar that makes great animated movies.
Or are we just talking action here?
I agree about Final Fantasy, good CG, bad story.
Hey, for the sake of reminiscence, go check out the newly released version of Tron, the original CG movie!

i actually liked monsters inc more than shrek.... im wierd i guess...although shrek has a lot of adult oriented comedy to it and the cgi is outstanding.
i know everyone loves shrek and all....but im the odd one who likes monsters inc more.
i guess its because im not to found of that time period in shrek, its costumes and look.

Shrek is good, but...
I really enjoyed Monsters Inc. and I'm going to buy it on DVD as soon as it comes out. The humor and design of Monsters Inc, was way better than Shrek.

Shrek > Monsters, inc
I've only seen monsters 1x, and shrek maybe a dozen, as well as it's "how it was done' on the DVD and I still think that Shrek is better designed and done than Monsters.
I've done some CG so I know how hard, fire, water, hair and fabric can be.
I'm open to an expereinced CGer saying why Monsters qas better, but I thought the work done on the elements in Shrek, not to mention the countryside (every plant, flower, blade of gras moved, etc) was superior.
I won't get into a disucssion of content/script - that seems too subjective.

Re: Shrek > Monsters, inc
I'd say that Pixar's work on Sulley's hair and Boo's clothes was every bit as good as anything done in Shrek. As far as environment's go, Monsters is mostly inside, except for a couple of incredible snow scenes, so it doesn't really compare there. Maybe you should see the movie again...

I'll take a look at Monsters DVD _ perhaps it has a how it was made segment.
To be fair - I suggest you rent the shrek dvd and look at its how it was done segment.
Have you done much CG? on what platforms and tools? Mines been mostly mac based (infini-D, strata studio pro, electic image)
I still think the fire, water and living environment, as well as the near photo realistic quality of the princess (they actually had to make her look less real to fit in with the look of the movie) surpasses pixar - but I'll look again.

I own Shrek on DVD and I've watched all the special features.
I'm not a CG designer, but I do work with Photoshop and understand the difficulties of photorealism. I think most people panned Monsters because it's aimed at children more than Shrek.
Wouldn't you miss the sound by seeing it at a drive-in? I love drive-ins, but I always felt gipped by the sound quality.
And after all, these days, the sound is as complicated and produced as the video. Gotta love Lucas for pushing the THX standard to its limits...until you see the bill...OUCH!

Nope, that's Darth Maul- or at least a vision, probably like Luke's Dagobah dream. If you look closely you can see the horns, just like Maul's. Although it's entirely possible that he will kill Mace.. we'll just have to wait and see
I actually think that it is Anakin taking revenge on Tusken raiders. I am of course basing this on a rumor.
