Re: Scifiholic speaks out Re: [scifinoir2] Painkiller Jane Series Premiere
This one dealt with a bunch of pilots fighting the creatures in the skies above Europe, I think. It must have been a WWII era pic. The gargoyle CGI sucked! I guess it's all about profit, but nothing's worse than bad CGI. Heck, *good* CGI can sometimes bother me, as it's still too obviously not real. The Spider-Man movies, for example, are great, but the CGI leaves a lot to be desired. SciFi seems to have decided they can put out crap with crap CGI on the cheap. For example, did you see the movie about some giant killer cyborg/clone monster that was stalking German soldiers in WWII? The thing was so obviously CGI it was awful! I have video games whose cut-scene characters are more realistic looking that that. Or how 'bout that flick with Dean Superman Cain where a cloned dragon is stalking the corridors of an underground research lab? It's horrible because every single scene of the monster is obviously the exact same one! There's that horrible film that takes place on an is land where Coolio (!) is playing a Special Forces commander whose men are menaced by monsters. The monsters are so fake-looking, it's almost as laughable as Coolio playing a military man! The sad thing is, men in costume--like the ones in the orginal Gargoyles with Cornel Wilde--look better than the bad CGI on SciFi. Heck, for that matter, I'd take the old stop-motion beasties of Ray Harryhausen over that! -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
