I think that video made the failures of Matrix two and three that much more glaring…Wait…in my universe those movies were never made…as well as the Star Wars prequels.

Please disregard this post…

Just an observation, the deathstar explosion used in the clip is from the re-release, no the original 1977 version.

But an amazing video none the less.

“There is no end to what can be accomplished. Perhaps someday we won’t need actors.”

And perhaps someday we won’t bewail the lack of strong storytelling.

(I doubt it, to both.)

Agreed, when it comes to ships or vehicles, practical effects are the better choice, CGI vehicles just DO NOT look real, you cant create convincing lighting on something that is computer generated, it just cant be done. CGI is useful to a point, I just feel that it is used way too much, its an easy way to do effects, but it isn’t always the best.

NOTE: Transformers is CGI, but it’s damn amazing CGI.
