Perhaps worst sci-fi CGI ever

Word. That was pathetic.

The gryphons in World of Warcraft look better then that POS.

Looked like a young child's coloring project. And they went out of the lines a few time.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

I call it CGI attemtping to simulate stop-motion and failing in very way possible.

Low budget is never an excuse for bad FX -- you have to be smart enough to keep what you are trying to do within the limits of your budget. If you can't do a good gryphon, you need to do a couple good shots of a gryphon and use things to imply him for the rest. People have good imaginations, they can fill in an awful lot of missing detail if you know your craft (i.e., filmmaking -- cinematography, direction, and production). A good screech, a well-done shadow, and people ducking will often make people THINK they saw the Gryphon at a fraction of the expense.

I point you to the *exceedingly* low-budget "Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity" -- which, despite the lurid title, is actually a fairly good film (a: yes, it does have nudity, b: the "slave girls" aren't very -- much more Red-Sonja type 'slaves' than anything submissive and helpless, and the entire movies is them after they've escaped "slavery"). It looks like it was shot on 10 times the budget (--Literally--. Watch it and then go look up how much it cost!), because the cinematorgaphy, direction and production was very, very well done. The basic plot is a classic retread, but done quite well, and the writing is adequate to the film. No, it's no "Star Wars", but it looks like a lot more than the amount spent, I'll guarantee.
