CGI Done very very Badly and well.

I have a belief that alot of CGI has been awful. I Cited Transformers as a bad example in an earlier thread. I think the worst ever example has to be Indiana Jones and the Crystal Whatever.

Any other terrible examples?, and good examples?, can we narrow it down to one company and put them to shame?

Lucas film, the effects for Star Wars I II and III were awful, and then to anotate the originals and completely undo the Jim Henson puppetry was a sin.

I thought the CGI in Transformers was amazing.
Yes, excellent shout on Indiana Jones.


What do you do for a living? do you work for ILM?

Lol, indeed it is... some kind of Terminatrix....

Personally I really dislike the kinda cgi that they used in the second Star Wars trilogy, everything was far too shiny and flash looking, as H&E said, the stuff from the originals was much better, much more dirty, gritty and realistic to my mind.

George A Romero starting using CGI for bullet holes ripping apart zombies in the newer films, gay.

Die Hard 4 was truly awful cgi and ruined the entire series.
