Millennials, Gen-Z Want Original Movies and TV, Not Remakes — Survey - Lemmy.World

Can confirm. I’m 38 and I cringe every time I see a remake of some 20 or 30 year old movie or show. Come up with something original instead of going for the low hanging fruit. Also, use less CGI and more practical effects.

Too much bad cgi now days.

Look at top gun 2. I wasn’t excited at all to see it. I left the theater pumped and saw it four more times.

Top Gun 2 was full of CGI…
It was full of good CGI
The cgi was used to remove the pilot of the f18. It was all cartoon look physics bending bs.

Sure the physics of the flight were real as they were flying real aircraft.

However, it is against the air forces rules to fly so closely in formation. CGI was used to bring the jets closer together to look better on camera. The majority of the environments were CGI as they were not permitted to fly so close to the ground or obstacles. The entire opening sequence with the advanced fighter jet was entirely CGI as that plan does not exist. That’s what CGI looks like when you have the means, time, and budget. Plus combining that with practical effects, leads to the best results.

And that’s my point. It wasn’t cartoonish special effects with bizarre physics.

It was well down.

Alright. Well I agree

Perhaps you did not get your point across in your downvoted comment

When cgi is done right, it enhances the movie. It’s nearly seamless. Too gun 2 combined great cgi with great practical effects. They didn’t just slap shit cgi over everything and expect people to love it. In thirty years top gun 2 will still look amazing.

I’ve watched it at home and in the theaters. It still looks good at home. Obviously it looks better in the theaters.

I’m not a fan of cruise but damn his vision was solid.
