Re: Green Lantern-the Movie
Watched it again to see if I got it wrong or not.
The CGI suit is terrible. I can't believe that will be the final render.
Regarding the aliens - forgetting the CGI suits, you guys are right. The actual faces of Sinestro, Toma Re, Kilowog, and Abin Sur (except for his first shot) are fine. Except when they're with Ryan Reynolds because he's not wearing prostheses or having any CGI on his face and so the slight problems in lighting or animation stand out much more than when they are on they're own. But it's not particularly awful, it's perfectly adequate.
It now seems to me what I was actually reacting to (because I still think it all looks bad) was not so much the quality of the CGI aliens, but rather, it was the CGI suits and this: I think they look crap. I've never liked the Green Lantern Corps and I've always thought they looked bloody stupid. 3D CGI versions of them, to me, still look bloody stupid. Which is not really the filmmakers' fault. It's just my personal taste regarding them.
But yeah, the CGI is better than I originally thought. (On the faces of the principal aliens that is. The suits are rubbish.)
