The Mummy Returns (2001)Ĭertainly, the most memorable CGI movie disaster is the Scorpion King’s appearance in The Mummy Returns.īuilt-up to be the ultimate showdown as Brendan Fraser goes toe to toe with Dwayne Johnson’s The Scorpion King and then he appears and the entire audience burst out laughing. Even funnier the visual effects department stood up for their mess of a creation.
We definitely think DC should put more care and attention into their CGI, that’s the second time they’ve been included in this list! Cats (2019)Īlready voted one of the worst CGI movies of all time Cats completely destroyed all we knew and loved about the musical and took a big steaming digital dump on proceedings. This disaster of a character appeared in all of its CGI tomfoolery and added to yet another DC failure. The one creature who succeeded in killing Superman himself but no. To add further insult to DC and clearly not ones to have learned a lesson Batman V Superman built Doomsday up as this iconic and most fearsome villain. I’d rather watch Del Boy and Rodney in spandex in an episode of Only Fools and Horses any day! Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Instead, it looks as though we’re in a really warped Mortal Kombat line-up as we have to suffer bad acting, plot, story and structure on top of eye strain! Easily one of the worst superhero movies ever created.Īcting on a greenscreen only works when the digital effects compliment the movie. The whole film (including Reynolds himself) is a CGI disaster. We all know actor Ryan Reynolds feelings on this movie as made abundantly clear in the Deadpool movies. Let’s hope the upcoming Matrix 4stays away from scenes like this! Green Lantern (2011) The effort has to be applauded but there’s no denying how bad it looks regardless. Revolutionary at the time for such a large scale fight sequence. It would have been even better if Keanu Reeves didn’t look like a waxwork model fighting on a stick in Kindergarten. The iconic scene where Neo fights hundreds of Agent Smith clones is an incredible scene indeed. The whole film amplifies the cheesy and it knows exactly what it’s doing and that’s what makes it great but they could have spent at least longer than 30 minutes on creating the stars of the show! The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Whilst a film of cult classic status you can’t deny that low-budget certainly meant lower than low quality as these pixel led sharks destroyed a town. The problem with Skyscraper however, is that it’s a very CGI reliant movie so this is certainly not the only horrific scene throughout this awful Die Hard wannabe. You just can’t take the scene seriously whatsoever. We cut to the helicopter that looks as though it has been rendered on a 90’s games console. The Dwayne Johnson epic that bombed hard at the box-office had some of the worst helicopter CGI I’ve seen for a long time.ĭuring a particular crash scene, we have real-world actors reacting to this helicopter crash. The Hulk movie was the perfect live-action Shrek film we’d always dreamed of!Īng Lee made Eric Bana’s face float, bounce around and look completely out of place in this huge giant green advert for. The very same man behind the CGI masterpiece that is The Life of Pi also made this abomination. But no, instead they went for a CGI disaster that completely alienated the scares and transformed it into a CGI disaster. The budget was no excuse here as a practical effect such as the incredible Freddy Snake in Nightmare on Elm Street 3 looked superb. Freddy Vs Jason (2003)Īs Freddy weaves his way between the dream world and reality he transforms into a little CGI monster.
#CGI MOVIE EFFECTS SKIN#
What resulted was a human skin mask over Cavill’s face that was as hilarious as it was horrific. With a budget of $300 million, you’d think that Warner Bros could have initiated more care and attention when it came to removing Henry Cavil’s moustache.Ĭavill had to grow the beard for Mission Impossible: Fallout and Paramount wouldn’t allow him to shave it so the special effects team on Justice League had to erase it frame-by-frame in post-production. It’s just 10 cringe-worthy moments in cinema history that we’d rather forget.Īny of the below disasters could have been rectified by good old fashioned practical effects. If you’re a fan of CGI we suggest you look away at the below list. Other times the CGI can be so bad that it becomes hilariously distracting to the overall feature. Put to its intended use it blends in so seamlessly with everything else on the screen you believe that it’s real. CGI in movies can be very hit and miss at times.
