Man, I have no idea what version I have.....
I think I have the 2004 version, although I'm not sure....
How do I tell? Please help.
If it has crappy 3d graphics, then it's the 2004 version.
If it has 80's simple 2d graphics, then it's the 1988 version.
it has AWESOME 3d graphics....
shareNo, it has crappy 3D craphics ^_^
But its still a great movie, cool music aswell.
No, the 3D graphics are really quite good. (We're talking about the 2004, here, not the '88 version)
If you think that the landscaping and textures in the War scene and the abandoned laboratory where 'crappy', you're knocking on some of the best CG environments ever produced.
Sure, some of the character shading might've been over-employed, and there might've been some 'stiff' movements (I take it they didn't use mo-caps for Hitmoi, at least :P) in the body language. And even some of the shots of Olympus made it look like a squeaky-clean over-sized doll house. It suffered from any number of things that a pioneering movie typically does.
But, taking a new method of 3D developement and producing an entire movie without any experience in such a style, and producing what they did... to say that it has 'crappy 3D graphics', and to cast it off without so much as a consideration is just a display of ignorance.
