Actual shot from the movie.
While some may think the new Transformers movie is worth wasting two hours watching for “CGI” and “Explosions” (protip: the Megan Fox stills will be all over the internets in a matter of days), I’m more interested in actual – you know, film making by an actual – you know, visionary like James Cameron, whose next flick, Avatar, is going to blend computer graphics, 3d, and actual actors all together into a single cinematic experience. No, Decepticons don’t count.
I’ve been excited for this flick for a while, since its the first real Sci-Fi movie Cameron has done in a while. Up until now there have only been a few shots of the companion video game showing the general art style, but a lucky group of people had a chance to see the footage in action, and, along with releasing two stills of the movie. Viewers described the footage as -
“Overall I was really impressed by what I saw. The effects are in a league of their own.” … “It took my breath away. I thought–just like you guys–that I’ve seen it all with Gollum, or The Hulk, but Cameron has done it again. These creatures seem so real, that within minutes you forget you’re watching an enormous and very blue CGI character. Even the eyes are totally convincing. The characters have real personalities and a soul.”
“The audience afterwards was stunned. Everyone just gasped, wondered and just couldnt believe what they saw.” … “Until now, all we saw was the base in 3D, mostly humans and now the 2 N’avi Avatars. They look NOTHING like the drawing you’ve seen. They’re living creatures with blue skin, bigger yellow eyes than humans with tails. The avatars even look like their human connectors. You will NOT believe the detail.” …”
The world outside is amazing. It all lives, breathes and works.”
Massive hype, maybe, but even Cameron is saying his film will usher in the Renaissance of 3d effects.
