Is this the new norm for movies? Or just low budget ones? I feel like I've seen this more and more. Just seems *beep* when you're supposed to be in the ocean and it's all fake-looking? Or on a balcony with some supposed nice background and it's all fuzzy. Not to mention the fake flames / explosions.
Other than that not a bad movie.
Yup. Green screen everywhere. But I recall that for example Live Free or Die Hard also has some terrible looking green screen driving scenes. And it wasn't low budget. Now, 10 years later, I guess it's a norm.
share40 million is hardly low budget. I didn't quite get that myself. If you are going to spend that much money on a film, use a real location.
You're never going to get any truth from us(the media). We'll tell you anything you want to hear.
It's only the norm for crappy movies and lazy directors. You can forgive some on a low budget but Ex Machina only cost like 15 million and it had fantastic cg.
shareSaid so in another thread: The blue screen images are absolutely terrible. The scenes in the café in Rio are an embarrassment for even a B-picture.
shareIt was so obvious that those scenes were recorded in a studio I felt offended. This was a direct to DVD film at best. Very crappy job by the special effects department.
You have been CRURNED!
They couldn't have a real Rio background and have the money to hire Tommy Lee Jones within the same movie with this budget.
shareI suppose movies have come a long way from the days of scale models being blown up, however I have to agree that the explosion effects used here where distracting - on a scale with TV shows rather than big screen explosions!
