Does computer animation in movies thrill you or bore you? It all looks too cartoonish to me.?

Answer 1

I agree to some degree. They can make some CG look amazing.

But, I think that they should use animatronics more often. I'm sure they could make those looks even better.

For instance, the first Jurassic Park movie. In some shots, that T-Rex was a robot. And it looked amazing.
Compare that to the fight scene on top of the train in Spider-Man 2. The dinosaur looks so much better. I understand that they couldn't make robots move like that, but that is just an example of unbelievable CG that's on that top of my head.

Answer 2

Personally, I'm not too thrilled with computer animation. Maybe because it's used so often nowdays in movies and whatnot, and its very obvious that is computer animation, probably why it comes off as cartoonish to you and bore some people.

Like, I use to love watching horror movies while I was younger, but now all the effects tend to be computer animated, and it just comes off to me as not real. Of course it's not real but as one of the commenters said, the robotic T-rex was more interesting. I think things like that caputre realism more then animation because animation is animated and not based on the reality plain then does a robotic effect, makup or costumes.

I'll admit some CG animation is very impressive and realistic, such as final fantasy advent children, but overall, they personally don't trill me and computer animation definatly is noticable and most of the time dosen't seem real to me.

Answer 3

i think computer animation looks good anywhere it all depends on how well the game designers or computer animator incorporates it with in the the movie for me it kind of gives me an out of this world experience and allows the watcher to see their imagination come to life i dont know about you but it gives the movie a whole new level of action i understand that there are times that computer animation may give a movie an unrealistic feel and may make it look corny and pathetic if not incorporated in the right places but in the end its all worth it and sometimes there are things that actors cant do themselves and thats when computer animation comes in handy
