Why CGI Is Getting Worse

from Breakdowns & Blockbusters · host Breakdowns & Blockbusters

Is CGI getting worse? We compare the groundbreaking Davy Jones CGI in 2006’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Jurassic Park’s blend of Stan Winston animatronics and visual effects with notoriously bad CGI like MODOK in Quantumania, Christopher Reeve and Helen Slater’s digital cameos, and the falling babies in The Flash. From rushed VFX artists and last-minute reshoots to Hollywood’s reliance on fixing everything in post, this video explains why modern CGI looks worse and why practical effects often create more realistic blockbuster action. ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️0:00 Intro0:54 Jurassic Park2:03 Quantumania4:35 Avatar7:00 Invisible CGI7:57 Black Widow 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: https://shorturl.at/atCD9 #theflash #jurassicpark #cgi Breakdowns & Blockbusters is represented by Digital Fox Talent.
