10/10 Special Effects

I need more examples of the absolute best special effects you've seen, practical or CGI. Scenes that just make you go "Wow, how did that get on screen?"

>Wow, how did that get on screen?

That was the entirety of Battle of Five Armies. Looking back that was one of the most disappointing ticket purchases of my life.

It's one of the few times I wanted to actually leave the theater before it was over. Thankfully there are some bright spots near the end, Martin Freeman did everything he could to try to save that sinking ship.

>That bit at 0:04 where the bottom left side snaps into position

But it's a tv show from back in the early 2000s

Wasn't all CGI like this back then?

...

If it wasn't in the service of such a shitty film some dwarf whirlygig like that would be pretty cool.

...

neat, what PSP game is this?

Why the fuck would he send in his cavalry ifmhe has heavy artillery?

That movie is beyond retared.

NO NO NO NO PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS FAKE

...

My only reaction

what an ugly fucking movie

Is that sword blunt or why aren't there heads qnd limbs flying around everywhere.

Are those robot? Why dont they bleed?

what a masterpiece

God fucking damn, it's like literally watching a Shonen Anime translated into real life.

This move right here.

That's not special effects
It's a fucking cartoon

this is a movie from 2002 don't be so harsh

At first I thought this was some 2000s straight to dvd movie, then recognized charlie and realized that it's king arthur. The movie with $175 million budget.

What the fuck do they spend the money on in movies these days, it's absolutely incomprehensible to me these days.

good bait

the hobbit cgi is mostly good, it's just the excessive use and weird filter jackson put on it, also doing literally entire shots in cgi making it look like a videogame.

>Scenes that just make you go "Wow, how did that get on screen?"
That doesnt happen anymore, with everything being CG now. Good cg, bad cg; people got used to cg.

I don't get it, what am I supposed to be seeing?

This is just beyond bad.

>lost 64

Fuck no.

The background on the left. Those painted on couches

Why the fuck couldn't they just get a real deer? They did it in S2 when the budget was even smaller.

Just... no.

I'm not seeing it. What am I missing?

haha, oh wow

It's more mid left. Watch where the carpet connects to the stairs

Everything

Mother of god

Whats wrong with it? I still think its a cool scene. Heroic, epic. Not really in need to compare it to other battle scenes of other novies and espevially not to the RL.

jesus christ!

they should really update their video card drivers and clean the heat sink.

pg13 sword fights m8

>that flip at 26 seconds
directed by steven seagal

...

Did he died? That was the only fun character in the entire movie.

he was the Jar Jar Binks of those films, hated him and he took up far too much screen time.

>mfw people still pay to watch this garbage
Makes you wonder why Hollywood has a problem with making original movies

>instantly dies because a dude is in your mouth
>falls and doesn't snap him in two

Best classic horror sci-fi?
Or would you put Alien higher up

>star wars reference
I LOVE STAR WARS! How could you not enjoy him? They were terrible movies and this was the only stupid fun character. Plus he looks a lot like aggitated jose.

>i liek it wen he fall down and make a poopy noise!

Why in the fuck would he think that hiding out in a trebuchet would be a good idea?

>i ehate fun becus it mak me fele not so smarte
You must be a true intellectual.

just turn off your brain bro

Because it's the worst movie from a garbage trilogy

>virgin skull vs Chad skullcap

go play minesweeper

...

Fucking keked, it even looks like the cover

>poeple will pay to see this hot garbage

Who the fuck thought this is okay?

You are aware that there are higher resolution versions of this sequence?

>mfw still haven't watched battle of five armies and probably never will

wow which early ps2 game is this

that cannot be real. dwayne looks like an angry manlet

>tfw loved LotR movies
>fell asleep during Hobbit 1 three fucking times
>never bothered seeing the other two movies

>yfw that's just the Witcher 3 intro, but shittier

...

that's a tv show, you can't expect too much.

this is my fetish

does she sucks a deck like that too?

>women can't ac-

no

>protecting people by creating more projectiles for the explosion

is batman using a fucking gun?

what the fuck

>expecting women to have good ideas and expecting consequences
top kek

>literally made the ice-version of a nail bomb

hmmmm

wait, I don't remember this happening, what the fuck?

haha i remember seeing this live absolute shit

you really think the resolution is the problem here?

>throat of steel

I know this thread is ironic but reminder that the fence breaking scene was all CGI and it still holds up and looks fucking great

Orphan Black still impresses me. I watched a video of how they did it, and if you look at stills it looks like a photoshop, but the idea of the same person interacting with themselves on screen is still some crazy future shit.

I've done that type of compositing and it's tedious and blends in well but when you do it so much it stands out so much. What fucking sells the Orphan Black scenes though is how fucking good Tatiana Maslany is as an actress, you completely forget they're all the same actress.

The scene is obviously garbage but not because the source looks bad or because the cgi is bad. So if this was a garbage fight scenes thread I'd accept it, but it isn't.

Why would anyone want to watch that garbage in higher resolution?

>spits

DROPPED

Fuck, I just looked at the OP webm and the rest of the thread. This isn't for things you're unironically impressed by, is it? I guess it's good the Orphan Black effects are pretty shit upon scrutiny, but as I said they still impress my caveman brain

Can you not read or are you retarded?

Reminds me of thqtcwebm of linkara running

ignoring that there's no way sprinklers would create a solid wall of water...

How many additional people were killed because they now have sharp chunks of ice weighing several kilograms flying at them?

Marvel's quality has really gone down.

>not posting the "effect" that got people to make fun of the show before it even started

Sadly all the people in the arcade then died from the combination of asphyxiation, the sudden decompression then the shockwave from the air rushing back in.

>Jurassic Park theme plays on kazoo

I don't get it. Is it the lighting?
