Final scene with young Will Smith CGI

While the script was largely forgettable (Not a great film but hardly as bad as critics would have you believe) I found Will Smith to be very watchable throughout. Mary Elizabeth Weinsted was also solid in her supporting role & the action scenes were alright.

That being said I thought the young Will Smith CGI looked mostly pretty good for most of the movie until the very end. Did they run out of budget or something? I don't know why they decided to end the movie with the most distractingly mediocre shots of CGI facial animation throughout the whole film.

I was thinking the same thing. I think he looked fine until the last five minutes. Wtf?

The CGI face was distractingly bad at the end. It had to have been down to the lack of budget, or time, or something, because it was twice as bad as the rest of the CGI face scenes. Some of the scenes looked really realistic such as when young Will Smith talks to Clive Owen for the first time, and others not so much (usually it's the eyes that let it down), but that final face CGI was noticeably inferior.

I came to make the same observation. It was so noticeably bad you'd thing they'd have gone back to fix it.
