is this film a case of "CGI porn"?

someone defined this term in a review of "Van Helsing" on
IMdb - a film that almost solely consists of CGI scenes, the
story (if any) crafted so that there can easily be jumped
from one CGI scene to the other.

hehe i know, whats really funny is that they used 'from the
director of Independance Day' at the end of the trailer as
if it was some sort of classic.

The director hasn't made a good film in his life, he's on
par with Paul Anderson.

"CGI porn"

LOL, thats a pretty good description for most recent
hollywood films, they have created a whole new genre :)

I saw it an hour ago. Nobody dies in the movie, which is
nice. Also, the ending where the circus actor survives by
balancing on the tip of the empire state building was a bit
too much. The cold chasing Donnie Darko on the library floor
was so realistic, I swear, I heard people cry.

I was a bit dissapointed that Majorna was nowhere to be seen
in the movie. I mean this disaster struck the whole northern
hemisphere and they left out such an important part of
Gothenburg. It's just unforgivable, even unrealistic.
Totally blew reality out the window.

i went into this one with an open mind, hoping i'd be
surprised. nope. totally blew.

best part was when that reporter was hit by flying debris
from a truck, that made me laugh. i expected more running,
screaming, and deaths (sure the body count was relatively
high but i wanna see the count go up).

it really blew my mind when the old guy cut his rope to save
the other two, that dennis fellow is like "jimmy,
nooooooooooo!!" (or whatever his name was) so cheap, so
lame. such a cliche.

i thought the film was really terriable, really bad. Its the
first time in ages where ive really wanted to walk out thru
half the film

its just another doomsday american film, like independence
day, armageddon, deep impact, etc etc etc and is so
predictable and shit, the cgi stuff is really good of
course, but the whole storyline is crap...

and theres loads of anomaly... like the scientist predicts
that the hurricanes will get worse and worse, and there will
be these 3 great big storms destroying the world... but in
the film the whole thing dissapears after about 1 day. Then
theres this big ship conviniently parked on some 5th avenue
which just happens to contain penniclin and killer wolves...


and jake. g's face just reminds me of his horny sister.

maybe i got some of my facts muddled up but i was half
asleep when watching that film.

Three helicopters freeze in fucking MID-AIR, but some lame
ass heros survive by burning up books in a library?! Come
on! WTF?

Haha also, "We will have an ice age in 6-8 months."
"Those aren't months, those are weeks."
"Oh my God!"

Later, "Our calculations were incorrect, we will have an
ice-age at the end of this week.."
"Oh my God."

"Um..are you sure it's a whole week? You know, we don't have
much to do in this movie as it is. I'm not dying anyway, so
I have to look at these calculations over and over in every
scene.
"I heard no one is dying."
"What? No one dies?"
"No..Well that stupid cop does freeze to death, but he's got
it coming for leaving the library after the climatologist's
son warns him. I mean, he's a climatologist's son for fucks
sake!"
"Yeah, come to think of it, he's black too, he's gotta go."
"Yeah, those are the rules."

hahaha, whats really funny is that people actually go to see
it expecting it to be good, come on, did you not see the
trailers or know who was directing? Did Bruckheimer produce
it? Wouldn't surprise me.

what was the purpose of the father going all the way to the
library? how could he save his kid, apart from changing
the weather? the whole movie mostly focused on the
excursion of the father trying to reach and 'save' his kid,
which was completely pointless, was it not?


 

offline Paco from Gothenburg (Sweden) on 2004-05-31 03:38 [#01216022]
Points: 2659 Status: Lurker



Yes, but you have to remember the laws of physics and rules
that apply to movies. Without the father actually at the
son's location, it is impossible for the helicopters to go
there. Once they were picked up, the rest of New York could
be picked up, and every helicopter could land at the same
time. Maybe they saved time by animating the landings like
that or something.

I know people are entitled to their own opinions on films,
and yes I have seen better films, but it wasn't half as bad
as some of you make it out to be. The CGI was good, OK the
story couldve been better....but come on, overall it wasn't
bad. I just think its too easy for people these days to just
write off a film, a piece of music, a book .... as utter
shit, just because its not their thing! :S

yo haven't really said why you think it is as good as it is
(except that the CGI is very good - which in no way would be
enough for most people on this board at least) - most of the
people who write it off do actually give a few good reasons.

I thought it was a fair representation of what could
happen.
I thought the story was quite good, the acting good (Dennis
Quaid is good, like the film Innerspace)...and the effects
were stunning.

I think whether or not you like the film, it certainly makes
you think about what could 'happen'.

Happy now Qrter? ;)

i saw this just now. Utter gobshite. It's still worth going
just to see new york engulfed in a big fuck off tidal wave,
but seriously, the film itself was absolutely appauling.
