for purposes of choosing how to spend my $15? no

i realize that they are different things, artistically, but at the end of the day it's all just more of the same CGI bullshit (for me and my moviegoing wallet)

couldn't be more wrong. It's done really well. It really nails the feeling (I thought) of watching Robot movies when I was a kid that Transformers - Remlik Jul 13, 21:12 3
- also, rewatching Ultraman (which i worshiped as a kid) they're pretty fucking awful - charlie Jul 13, 21:15 1
  - yeah they are to our jaded eyes. Del Toro with todays tech makes it look great -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 21:17
- good for it -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 21:14
Having seen the Hellboy movies, I find it hard to call GdT's work "CGI bullshit", although it does grate on me the wrong way most of the time. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:11 6
- i really liked hellboy(s) and labyrinth was very cool -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 21:18
- Hellboy was almost 10 years ago, before the CGI bullshit reached its current excesses -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 21:13 4
  - Transformers CGI was cluttered chaotic noise and bullshit. That was battleship's *plot*. I think pacific rim, by its very nature, avoids both issues. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:20 3
    - they all look like "Video Game: The Movie" at this point. -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 21:21 2
      - Which is ironic, because the accompanying video games are SHIT. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 21:24 1
        
        and as long as they continue to sell they will stay shit -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 21:43
