I watched that, and again, it still looks like the Lord of the Rings films were remade by Koreans.

I don't give a crap if the book came out 50 years ago, the film just looks so bad and so derivative.

now what exactly are you saying about Koreans?

Look at recent Korean art in games--there seems to be a lean towards contrast of bold and pastel, which this has in spades.

So to sum up, you don't like this movie because the 'talking lion' isn't realistic enough, and you don't like the 'bold and pastel' colors ?
 
Obviously, some people haven't seen the awesome "FX" of the BBC Chronicles of Narnia.

Didnt WETA do the effects for this?



Anyway i heard the movie sucks. Shame, i'll go see it anyway, relive some childhood memories.

But honestly, it's like someone took LOTR and remade it in Korea.

That's actually a compliment, though unintentional. One could argue that the best films being made the past 5 or so years are coming out of Korea.
 
I thought the CG in the commercial looked rather well done.
 
This type of CG also looks worse on TV then it does when you see it in the theater. I don't think it looks awful on TV at all, and i've seen the preview in the theater and thought it looked good. Harry Potter level of quality. Of course, I also know the story, and expected the talking critters as well.
 
Your opinion is VOID! I think the CG looks more than decent myself.

There will always be a little effect here and there to nitpick about, but as long as it's not terrible I'm not going to complain. I'm more concerned about seeing how faithful the movie is to the themes and feel of the book. The trailers have me feeling good and hopeful.
 
Take another look at that bird thing talking, or hell, even those beavers...and then HONESTLY tell me that the CG isn't laughably poor.
 
"Laughably poor"? I don't think I would go that far. It's always going to look unnatural. What's an example of GOOD CG? Most people would say Jurassic Park, but I still think that the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren't as complex as the creatures that Narnia has to deal with.

Anyways, it's a fantasy story so I don't mind one bit if it looks a little cartoony.

Jurassic Park combined animatronics with CG to make something amazingly realistic and lifelike. But hey, it's a fantasy movie so I can excuse poor CGI and a goofy looking scenario.

I was watching the commercial for Narnia, and the wolf said something or other.

PLEASE tell me that was a hallucination or something, because the CGI in this looks horrible. I mean, Babe looked more convincing. I don't think I can stand to see three hours of crappy animals talking. :(

Someone, please, tell me this movie can't be that silly and contrived.

Well, I mean, past what I'm hearing about Jesus Lion and evil black people...

PS3 quality if I don't say so myself.
 
Bah, no one's opinion is going to be changed in this thread, so I'm gonna stop and say that I can't wait to see the movie on Friday night. :)
 
I watched JP (the original) was on TV last night.

1. Blue screens have aged
2. Most of the "convincing" scenes that still hold up were shot in the dark
3. The most complex IK rig I saw was that of a bipedal format.
4. Great water shaders
5. The textures for the dinosaurs were / are top notch.

the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren't as complex as the creatures that Narnia has to deal with.

Correct
NO WAY are they as complex as the ones in Narnia ... the tech involved in the rigs alone(body & facial) out weighs ANYTHING done in JP. Not the mention hair shaders ...my god... hair simulation is just getting stable for cryin out loud.

Poor CG ? ... matter of opinon..everyones entitled to one ...period
sometimes it's just the design of things

..i dunno looks pretty hi rez to me...what is so poor about it? I mean its a mythical story in a mythical land with mythical creatures..its not going to look realistic , it shouldnt it should look ...mythical like the eagles in LOTR, or the creatures in Star Wars, and that hot bitch in Willow.
