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…
But also a ton of practical effects. The CGI was mostly there to help the practical effects, the movie wasn’t full on CGI like Avatar.
None of the planes shown in the film ever left the ground.

So there were planes?

And not just a chair and a green screen?

That sounds suspiciously like practical effects.

The planes look good, but they are almost entirely CGI. The difference is that they used realistic flight maneuvers and reference lighting to make it look really good. Practical effects means little to no CGI and that definitely does not apply here.

We spoke to director Joe Kosinski and star Miles Teller about how Top Gun: Maverick’s astonishing aerial sequences were achieved using unprecedented practical effects and a rigorous training program designed by Maverick himself, Tom Cruise.

This is incorrect; take it directly from the movie’s editor, Eddie Hamilton ACE, on how the VFX CGIs were done: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE1pOMpQvbw You can see at the 4 minutes mark where the actual jets in the movie were just stand ins, and VFX artists are told to use CGI to reskin them with the jets in the final movie.

That is the Russian and F-14. I already acknowledged those two were CGI. We don’t have access to an SU-57, and they are not flying F-14 anymore.

The F-18 are real planes with the send seat edited out.
