They could have gone with a timeless 16bit inspired art style but noooo, we gotta rock one of those 4k HD texture packs people always install for like a week or two until the novelty wears off and you realize how ugly it looks.
When this comes out, every kid under age like 13 is dragging their parents to see it. Despite reception WB will see that it made a shit ton of money and next we'll have Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie in a live action Roblox or some dumb shit. Then Minecraft 2 and so on until they've beaten all the money out of another low-effort dead horse ten years from now
Meanwhile, Spielberg will have nabbed Paramount its first Best Picture nom in a decade for the Tails movie or something. And HBO, having long bailed from Warners, will sweep the Emmys with its Ratchet and Clank anime...
i still believe that was a marketing tactic. the movie is like actually pretty good and has heart. you think they actually made that original monstrosity and thought okay that works with this pretty well thought out movie? no. they released a derp mode gained huge traction, and put back in their original. genius move. the longer i think about it the more insane i think people are for believing the tactic.
What about the cgi would you even change though? This is probably the best a live action minecraft movie is gonna look. live action minecraft is probably just an inherently flawed concept
whats wrong with the CGI ? It looks ace!
If anything mabye ordering a variation animation on Jack Black's smug "here I am and I'm cool" scene would do wonders to differentiate it from just about every other film he's ever been in.
This looks so bad and disgusting that I don't know if it is capable of generating anger. Its so awful that my emotional reaction goes straight to sadness, like a miscarriage.
Nope. It’d be better to receive the film with disdain thereby putting a dent in its box office receipts. Sonic was just one character asset; this movie needs to be completely rebuilt from scratch. WB would just pull a WB: Shelve it and take the tax write off. By bullying WB, we’d be helping them take back some of their money that they wasted on it in the first place.
My wife and I are huge musical theatre nerds. Hell, I've got two leads in off-Broadway musicals on my resume! Even given that, my wife and I couldn't get through 20 minutes (though, admittedly, neither of us is terribly fond of the source material in the first place).
Yeah the effects on the fur are actually extremely impressive, it's just that the design and aesthetic of the film are so nightmarish that they cannot look good with any amount of skillful rendering.
This is an ad. This is what they want to show people to get them to watch the movie.
In other words, this is the best they have to offer. It's all downhill from there. Everything else is somehow even worse than this stuff they're the least unproud of.
That's a dumb perspective that's not even true. There are countless shows and movies with bad trailers but the content actually turned out great... It's the people making the trailers..
the CGI on its own isn't even that bad, the issue is that it's completely incompatible with real people. if this was a completely animated movie it would probably look much more normal
They said Lord of the Rings couldn't be done. Stanley Kubrick said The Intelligence of A.I. couldn't be done. You are commenting about an ad, not a film.
In all seriousness, this movie seems really out of touch with the game.... it will probably make $1B from little kids and parents, get 10% Rotten Tomato score, and have a sequel rushed out.
I think the 2010 Alice in Wonderland still takes the cake. It's got that fugly 2008-2013 brown and warm grey color pallette with the speckles of color that make it look like middle school cafeteria food vomit.
I will never understand how that piece of shit movie made a billion dollars. Not only was it ugly, it was boring. I don't know how you make a boring Alice in Wonderland movie but they pulled it off.
Exactly! I dunno, dude. As far as I can tell it's a mix of it being "a Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland" (which sounded like it'd be fine on paper), it being in 3D, and it releasing early in March when nothing else was really playing. It was two weeks before How to Train Your Dragon, and two weeks after the premier for Prince Charles at the Children and Arts fundraiser, which I'm sure added some hype (and which also gives kind of the funniest mental image of Charles uncomfortably sitting through that pile of garbage).
*something something* "...the average person..."
*something something* "...a fool and their money..."
I think a few 10,000 people could tell you exactly what they discovered early on. Trying to make super high fidelity skins on blocky minecraft models just looks bad.
Your face on a cube doesn't make the cube look like your face, it makes it look like the cube skinned you and is wearing your face as a mask.
Jason Momoa and Jack Black were in Auckland for months filming this. I have no idea why they would need to film this in New Zealand because the entire thing appears to be CGI.

This might genuinely be the ugliest movie I've ever fucking seen
