Who needs cgi ?
The future of warfare looks ominous with drones attacking in waves numbering in the thousands doing shiz like this.

No, it's not trendy. It's good taste hating on rubbish. The CGI that people hate on is lazy or unnecessary or both.

Do you really think people hate on cgi, just because it's cgi? I can't imagine that would ever be the case. I myself hate it when i notice it poorly done and looks like shit. Tends to take me out of the story/movie. Bad cgi like bad anything just sucks, and it's more apparent these days as it's used so much more.

While this may be true for Fincher films, it's also true for most films that are not thought of as VFX films.

It seems trendy to hate on CGI now, but most people don't understand when they are and aren't looking at it.

The only CGI I ever noticed in a Fincher film was Benjamin Button. I think he reached too far on that one... didn't like it personally.
All these other ones though... I had no idea. Who CGIs blood rivulets?! Jeezus.

Other than horrible story telling there is little i hate more than overused, shit cgi. Fincher makes great films and now i have that much more respect for his work. *promote the appropriate finely tuned use of CGI to make movies the best they can be.

I actually knew a few of the people involved. DigiPen (where the students who designed Portal went) was just up the road (and my second choice for a CGI school) from where I got my education in computer animation. I used to hang out with Ben Morris who built level design tools for Doom and Quake back in the day and went on to build the level design tool for Valve that they used on Halflife and Portal.

I also worked on Navy Seals, the project Gooseman did before Counter Strike.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and keep collaborating with some of those folks instead of finding a different path (animating for TV shows).

The trailer featured Kuze, who was the main antagonist in the 2nd GiG.

This scene is a call back to the original movie but it doesn't mean the story is related.

I'm glad they didn't go the CGI route, just seems kind of off to me.

Yeah, I don't see how they can fit any significant component of the 2nd GiG season in a movie, let alone any philosophical depth. Stylistically they seem to be on the right track, although Hollywood has never been short of pretty visual effects.

Have to admit the Major suit does look a bit silly as almost like a fat suit, but I understand that they couldn't have done it any other way without CGI. Whatever, as long as it's a stylistic action flick that doesn't butcher the story it will have met my expectations.

It's like the public domain kung fu + hilarious CGI and film splices of Kung Pao: Enter the Fist, meets the ridiculous headlining on magazines (at the very end of this clip) from the Spike Jonze/Charlie Kaufman movie Being John Malkovich.

pretty good....however as soon as i saw the uncanny tandem i suspected there were other cgi elements. It immediately looked wrong with three wheels.
