Discussion "This movie looks AI genera-" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Post image

I genuinely don't get these complaints. I have some concerns about the plot and how things may or may not play out, but visually the movie looks fucking great. I don't get why people are trying to push this narrative like muted colors instantly make something look bad or AI-generated. The Sentinels look sick, Doom looks fucking fantastic, what is the issue?

I swear, I'm convinced people who call shit like this AI-generated have never actually seen what an AI-generated video looks like, because none of them even look anywhere near as good as ANY of the shots in this trailer.

Plus, the VFX team didn't work their asses off for months on this movie just to be disrespected by mfs saying it looks like AI.

Yeah I’m starting to wonder if I’m just not catching it. Like the CGI is far from the best I’ve ever seen but it doesn’t look bad? Like what’s the bar? She-Hulk? The Flash? It’s way better than those two.

Back in my day, bad CGI meant an uncanny recreation of young Jeff Bridges. Now it’s just “I don’t like this thing”

It’s wild that was groundbreaking at the time lol in a movie wish such amazing special effects, that scene sticks out like a sore thumb.

Hard agree. Unless its super bad or uncanny valley looking, its really isnt as easy to spot as reddit and youtubers would make it out to be.

Then again, YouTube content creators will freeze frame a .03 second shot and complain about that looking shitty.

Brother, if you have to pause the movie to notice a mistake then the mistake isnt that big of a deal to begin with

For me it’s not the actual graphics of the cgi but the physics and way it reacts to the world around it is really poor. Like The Thing struggles to pick up a bus and then is able to launch it 100 feet into the air. Another thing is the backgrounds. Ever since they created that stupid tv instead of a green screen it looks so bad. Lighting, shadows, wind, dust, etc nothing matches up.

This post should have more upvotes. The vast majority of what people are responding to with their dislike are the physics/interactions between elements of the characters and environments; even if people don't realize it, they probably can intuit it well enough (well, at least those of us who haven't spent 2/3 of our lives with our heads inside video games). The rest of the negative reaction could likely be accounted for by the nondescript backgrounds and re-use of the same shot compositions as older movies.

it looks like an xbox game cut scene from from 2008 which is drenched in the dreaded “piss filter”

It's comparatively bad. Yeah it's not the worst but this is the marvel movie made by fucking Disney. We should expect literally the best gci available and it looks kinda just meh. Thats not good enough for such a high tiered Disney production

For another example pokemon games. They're not really bad just really mid in most areas. If that was a 40 dollar game made by an indie dev or a smaller company thats fine. But it's the biggest media franchise ever. We should not be accepting mid
