John Marston Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I personally think Dark of the Moon should win. The scene where the worm like Transformers was drilling around that building was breathtaking. Apes had great effects too but some of them don't really hold up on home video, still though the majority of the effects were great. HP8 shouldn't have even been nominated. There was nothing special about any effects in that movei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Every single shot that featured Voldemort was full of effects, every exterior shot of Hogwarts, the Dragon & the entire underground of Gringotts, most of the Room of Requirement and the huge fire, the ENTIRE Chamber of Secrets set (the original physical set had been demolished long ago) and the Voldemort tsunami, the statues, all the spells, the Grey Lady, etc etc etc.I don't expect it to win, nor do I necessarily think it should. But to say that it shouldn't even have been nominated is a little silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dragon is one of the most visually realistic creatures, the fiery animals were amazing, the entire Chamber of Secrets, creation of the force-field + its deterioration, Voldemort, Nagini (the snake), Gringotts, the attack on Hogwarts....yeah, the special effects are pretty damn great. The only bad point was the ten seconds on the brooms. I have no idea what happened there, and they have no excuse since the brooms during the HBP Quidditch match looked spectacular. It is absolutely deserving of a nomination. The dragon is one of the most impressive things I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The dragon? It is easily one of the most impressive things I've seen all year. What's so bad about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The dragon looked good but nothing really special IMO. Maybe if this was 2001 it would be one of the best things. Maybe saying it shouldn't have been nomInated Is harsh. Fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The Photorealism in Apes, Real Steel and Dark of the Moon is what impresses me most. Espescially apes. You'd never think that not a single hair of those apes has come purely from a computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The Apes have the best special effects, hands down. I hope they win. If not, then Transformers. The detail in Transformers is absolutely amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Apes has excellent VFX elevating an already great motion capture performance by Andy Serkis. TF3 has the most insane amount of VFX detail put to film I've seen this year.Hard to say which I would favor.
