What is the absolute best use of CGI in modern movie making?

The seamless interaction of CGI and live action.

Whoever was directing Ewan McGregor did a stellar job!

"Right Ewan, a deadly Jedi hunter is going to light up 4 sabres a meter in front of you, intending to kill you.....what we want you to do is stand there as still as possible, weapon by your feet."

The sad thing is that if you looked at the Clone Wars animated series that General Grievous was in on Cartoon network, he was a monster compared to the joke of himself above^.

If you took somebody from 1985 and showed them.district 9, they would wonder how they made those awesome costumes.

Also, it's not just about "best cgi," it's about what cgi worked the best to make the best movie. But examples of simply solid cgi are fine as well.

I contend that there's a big difference between low key CGI that's seamless, and "a great deal of the film" CGI that you have to forget about to enjoy like Jurassic Park.
 
I always love Fincher's little flashes of CGI, that you don't really think about at the time.

He tends to use CGI like a fine-detail paint brush, instead of most movies that blast it all over their film like a fire hose.

For as simple and dumb as it was it still deserves an honorable mention for this thread...Ted.
 
I don't really care for it but transformer was pure eye candy. Watchmen was good too

Though I'm struggling to think of any film with CGI where I couldn't immediately tell is was CGI.

Isn't this sort of a self-defeating task? If you couldn't tell, and you didn't find out about it through a "making of" video or something like that, then you'd simply never know.
 
Alfonso Cuarón uses CGI really well. You barely notice the parts that are CGI in Children of Men. He uses it subtly to create to create impossible to shoot scene, to make them seem more real.
Also the CGI in Gravity was beautiful.

They built a fuck-off replica to film most of the scenes in:

I was gonna say, it kinda was shot on a real boat. I think the only CGI they used were for wide exterior shots, where you see the entire ship floating along the ocean. Along with some details when it sinks as well.

serious question.

Are you a cuck?

This is like the 9th or 10th time I have seen you write about 'BBC'. Aka "Big Black C0CK" you talk about it in the War Room and in here. And then to top it off you mention Mandingo the pornstar before and now repeatedly.


Makes a person wonder.

Um, when you know it's not possible without. District 9 fits that. I forget it's CGI
 
Also the new Planet of the Apes thst is coming out looks to be about as good as CGI has ever been. Basically flawless
