Why is the cgi so bad?
Is this a low budget movie? It looks like a video game.
shareReally dude? The *beep* is nearly photo realistic.
shareJesus *beep* christ! The CGI is nearly flawless you have to actually try to figure out in the beginning if we're seeing a filmed footage or an animation, and here comes you asking why the CGI is so bad? WTF?! Are you trolling?
shareThe cg looks great, extremely convincing. The problem arises from the incredibly awkward animation that accompanies it.

"The problem arises from the incredibly awkward animation that accompanies it. "
You nailed it.
Yes and the camera shots don't last more than 2-3 seconds, very boring.
The movie is made for teenagers who can't focus if it lasts too long.
Otherwise the CGI are impressive comparing to the first movie.
You troll like a new member. 2009, what a disgrace you are.
shareApparently, you can't make a distinction between good and bad CGI.
I don't think there is a powerful enough computer in the world to play this (if it was a game) with the video quality shown in the trailer.
Considering it takes a farm of computers weeks/months to process all the frames of a movie like this, there is actually NO way to render this in real time, not even with the most powerful supercomputers in the world right now. Mostly because those are built to process data and not video card type processing. Now maybe if they actually built a super computer designed specifically to do what video cards do, but at 1 million times the speed at once.... maybe then they could render this. I guess by the time we reach that age, we will have true virtual reality and that will be how it looks.
shareNo game actually renders cutscenes ... This is in no way anything like game play .. this movie is one big cutscene ..
shareWhy is your intelligence so bad?
Square has been a pioneer of CGI since the start. When Pixar launched their first movie, Square was doing ten times better graphics already then.
If you're referring to Toy Story, Square wasn't doing CGI in 1995. Unless I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
shareto my memory, FF7 started this CGI cutscene revolution, and that was released in 1997.
FF6, released 1994, also has full-motion video cutscenes, but i didn't play that one. if FF6 has CGI better than toy story, then we have an argument.
Final Fantasy 6 was ported onto the Playstation in 1999 with CGI that wasn't included in the original. They did the same thing with Chrono Trigger and a couple other games.
shareReally? did you watch too much Gods of Egypt or that Warcraft movie?
shareactually, the Warcraft MoCap CGI is superb.....the problem is when they mix it with live scenes, then it fails. If Warcraft was fully CGI MoCap, it would be best CGI animated movie ever done due to the extreme focus on details they did.
But now it will be remembered as a not so good mix of CGI and live action like ie. Apes movies did.
