N64 CGI but Still not as bad as I thought it would be


Bad Acting, Interesting story, Slow beginning, horrible CGI. The he acting at the beginning of the film is just terrible but it does get slightly better later on. The most interesting thing here is the story although it devolves into a cliche near the end. The thing that killed the movie for me was the terrible CGI. WHy not just use a costume? Anyways 4.8/10

I didn't mind the CGI, they knew they weren't doing blockbuster quality CGI, so they went with what they could afford and did THAT very well instead.
Did it detract a little bit from the movie, only in the beginning IMO.

Another movie I've seen this done in was Death Note. and it was even 'worse' as the demon had a lot more screen time, but you just need to take it at face value sometimes.


A movie that royally screwed the pooch on it though, was Ultraviolet. It was going for realistic stand in of CGI, but it was trying to pull it off with what appeared to have been an original Pentium 33 processor that was remastering even older 486 graphics.
