What is your cinema hot take? - Lemmy.ca

I don’t really care about Star Wars

I like special effects in very cheap or very old movies: it gives me that “wow, how did they manage to do that in 1925?” feeling. I like that feeling. Modern quality effects I just ignore. Some very detailed explosion in the space? Ok, something exploded. I noted that plot point.

Precisely.

Part of the awe of watching movies (The so-called movie magic) is that at the same time as you’re in awe of the film, there’s a part of you in awe of how much collaborative work it took to create that stunt/effect/miniature, etc…

There’s no magic anymore when one can just do the same thing in Blender at home if they had enough time to learn.
