A lot of those movies were passible back in the day, but now they are kinda embarrassing. A few still hold up well, like "Jurassic Park" and "Terminator 2". But stuff like "Lawnmower Man" is better left in the dusty archives. Roman J.

The guy was a real craftsman, but I think they were a pretty good meld of effects and story. The stories carried the effects and the characters in the stories also carried the storyline. When CGI first started out I think the creators forgot that you needed good stories and characters first, and then add on the effects. I think they've gotten better at it over time.

One of my favorite use of the effect is for the AT-ATs and AT-STs in "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". Stop motion just seemed like the perfect fit for those monstrosities. <br /><br />And yes... Caroline Munro... wow.Roman J.

The model is a real 3D object, and it shows. Even the stop-action movement sometimes seems appropriate. How should a bronze Kali move, after all?<br /><br />And then there is Caroline Munro.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.com
