Absolutely. CGI looks fake as well. Jurassic Park puppetry+cgi> Avatar's CGI

10/10

>implying uncanny valley applies to blue aliens
Dude, they already look ridiculous.

I watched this on tv the other day.
It seriously looks like shit. It looks like a cutscene from a PS3 game.

The Thing effects>Everything ever made

>>15746907
Sam Worthington is a puppet.

>>15746890

Polar Express or Beawoulf would be a lot better example. The CGI in Avatar was godtier.

people still care about this overrated piece of shit? saged and reported.

I always hated the blue guy designs, its just cat + bunny + person. Derp original the movie, do not steal.

>uncanny
>implying it resembles something irl to begin with

The Thing effect>All other effects

The Thing effects > Everything

It's always the eyes that kills it for me. That fake shine. They never get the eyes quite right with CGI.

Maybe if they hired some actual artists, but that's probably wishful thinking.

The CGI is good, there's really no way to say it isn't. That said, it isn't the best and definitely didn't deserve the critical acclaim it received (In my opinion)

Uncanny Valley? Not even close.

>>15746943
>>15746943
>>15746943

This. Almost 30 years later and the effects looks more realistic than today's bullshit.

>>15746925
>>15746960

Uncanny valley doesn't just apply to humans, or even real creatures.

>>15746966

lol, it was obvious that they used dolls and make-ups and shit, didn't fool me.

>Jenkins!
>Yes, sir?
>We need a new character design. Mr. James Cameron; yes, that James Cameron, just called me and said he wants creatures that fat weirdos can turn into a fetish yet completely revolt the average movie goer.

That's how I imagine it went.

I think this is abatap's mother.

Fully realistic CGI-characters can never be done.

Not even two years old and the CGI already looks dated.

>>15747072
lol

Blue x-men lady looks better.
Make-up > Motion capture

>>15747102

I agree. Peopel will laugh at this shit 15 years from now

itt

>create revolutionary for a film that costs more than any other movie in the history of cinema
>write the story in 5 minutes

>>15747024
>completely revolt the average movie goer.

Yeah, that's how it made 2.7 billion, by revolting average moviegoers. Keep telling yourself that.

Practical effects will always reign supreme if done right. Raiders of the Lost Ark is 30 years old and looks maybe 10 at most.

>>15747158

>write

You spelled "steal" wrong.

James Cameron: I want to compete with ‘Star Wars’ and Tolkien
>“You’ve got to compete head on with these other epic works of fantasy and fiction, the Tolkiens and the
‘Star Wars’ and the ‘Star Treks,’” Cameron said. “People want a persistent alternate reality to invest themselves in and they want the detail that makes it rich and worth their time. They want to live somewhere else. Like Pandora.”

BRASILIA (AFP) – Film director James Cameron said Sunday he will return to Brazil this year to make a 3D film on indigenous people of the Amazon who oppose construction of a huge dam for fear it could flood tribal lands.

"I want to return to meet some of the leaders of the Xikrin-Kayapo tribe who invited me," the Canadian director said in an interview published in the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.

"I want to take a 3D camera to film how they live, their culture," said Cameron, whose blockbuster movie Avatar tells the story of the peaceful Na'Vi people who live in harmony with nature on the planet Pandora and wage a bloody fight against strip-miners from Earth.

>Uncanny valley

I don't think you know what that even means

they just look shitty

>>15747194

>thattshejoke.jpg

>mfw Avatar is a self-sustaining troll that /tv/ is still butthurt about, 2 years after it's original release.

Note that I said original release. You know it's going to be rereleased to cinemas again before the sequels come out. :-D

>>15747234
>self sustaining
NICE LOGICAL FALLACY, KIDDO.

>>15747054

Yeah, I know, it supposed to create the illusion that it's real. But it looked too fake to create that illusion

I honestly just think that Cameron waited too long.

He said he'd had the idea for the movie forever ago, but the technology didn't exist at the time. Not totally sure what technology he used to make Avatar, but by the time he did, it wasn't anything new to see human actors rendered in CGI.

I mean clearly, he wanted it too be a groundbreaking thing where the term "Avatar" referred not only to the Na'vi dolls of the story, but the CGI models that were taking the place of their human counterparts.

Yet, I for one, was far more impressed when I saw it a few years prior with Davy Jones in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

>James Cameron recently demo'ed some footage in 24fps, 48fps and 60fps to lobby for a change in frame rates used in Hollywood. ->
>Hobbit 48fps

Kneel before him!

I watched Jurassic Park again recently and all the CGI looks like shit except for the T-Rex scene when it's raining and night time.

>>15747321
The thing about Davy Jones is you watch it with the expectation that it is Bill Nighy in an awesome costume, and maybe some CGI around the tentacle beard.

There's bits (like whenever you see his leg thumping on the deck) that I'm 100% convinced were done with props and the production team is lying about being CGI

>>15747967

lol

What the FUCK IS THIS THREAD

Just so you know, you are a huge loser and haven't kissed a girl once

>>15747967
what about cinema has avatar changed? Movies that are shit will continue to be shit, movies that are good will continue to be good. Did it change the quality of effects in future movies? Nope. Did it change the quality of scripts in future movies? Nope. Quit jizzing your pants over something that is popular, but mediocre at best. You make yourself look stupid.

>mfw it was peter jacksons lotr movies which influenced james camerons go ahead to make avatar. so its his fault abatap exists

>>15748156
>>15748156
G damnit

>>15747321
Davey Jones actually looked like makeup

I don't think the Na'vi fooled anyone.

Unless you're stupid.

>>15748186
Number 1 movie of all time?
FUCKING BLU NEY??? NEY? Really?
God, you're a fucking faggot. Brb, gonna go cry more.

>>15748186

Not belief, it's fact.

>But it was not until [James Cameron] saw how Peter Jackson had created the Gollum character in Lord of the Rings that he felt it would be possible to make Avatar – although, he said: “We were going significantly beyond anything he had done because we had all sorts of different characters based on different actors.”

>[James Cameron] went to New Zealand to meet [Peter} Jackson, toured his special-effects workshop and hired Jackson’s Weta company to work on Avatar.

>Cameron explained his methods as he took me on a tour of the offices of his Lightstorm company in an unobtrusive, three-storey building on a busy street in the centre of Santa Monica. It is there, in offices lined with movie posters and rooms containing models of outlandish-looking creatures, that his staff of 60 artists, writers, production assistants and computer experts work on bringing his sometimes impossible seeming ideas to the screen.

I actually am starting to dig ABATAP.

He's persistent. He's like a human meme.

Yeah, the CGI Na'vi sucked. But you have to admit, Cameron picked some good locations to shoot the rest of the film.

I realized this a long time ago and have liked Aba ever since. He is certainly the hero of /tv/ to me but it isn't any of that "Hero we deserve, but not that we need" bullshit. Aba is just like "I'm your mother ucking hero" and that is that.
