DoctorWho Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Out of the nominees I'd say The Avengers had the second most impressive fxNah, Prometheus is 2nd IMO; if you saw the Collector's Edition Bonus disk you would know that 99% of the effects are practical and the Academy appreciates that. For me TA is 3rd place. Edited January 10, 2013 by DoctorWho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My second place would go to the Hobbit. However, that doesn't matter because LIFE OF PI IS SO GOOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me TA is 3rd place.I didn't know there was a hierarchy how the effects were produced... In the end, they award the best visual effects. Not the best practical effects.(And when you have a big CGI spaceship crashing in one big CGI alienship in the most spectacular scene of your movie...Bragging about 99% practical effects is a joke. That were not the practical effects that were outstanding in Prometheus, IMO). Edited January 11, 2013 by dashrendar44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm not totally sure about that. My memory could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm not totally sure about that. My memory could be wrong. I've seen VFX breakdowns, the ships were full CGI and the crash too. They shot Theron and Rapace running amok on the actual plate in Iceland. The rest is computer generated. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEffC2nj7xE That one is epic: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdJYlKfyjg8 "99% practical effects". LOL.

Avengers is a Transformers 3 clone in visuals.Nah, Prometheus is 2nd IMO; if you saw the Collector's Edition Bonus disk you would know that 99% of the effects are practical and the Academy appreciates that. For me TA is 3rd place.Its more like 80%, exact opposite of Avatar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The Hobbit had effects about as impressive as PI, imo. The motion capture on the goblins and the pale orc and Gollum was beyond amazing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 You =/= Academy. 'Nuff Said. Effects aren't good enough to compensate for a shit movie, and the movie isn't good enough to compensate for run of the mill effects that any movie can have if they spend 200 million dollars.Well they nominated Golden Conpass which had far worse effects, so I wouldn't have been suprised if they nominated Carter. Saying that a movie has to be good to have a VFX nod is one of the dumbest things I've heard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 TF3 had better FX than TA.Yeah and TF3 deserved a win. The Acadamy didn't nominate that movie out of principle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I still do not understand why Snow White was nominated? Several other movies this year had better visual effects than Snow White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
