CGI has to be implemented very carefully or you risk ruining the suspension of belief. That's why say, The Phantom Menace still gets a lot of flak for pushing it's cgi over practical effects

but as I just watched that this year, I didn't really think anything of it |D

Practical effects also generate a lot of jobs for artisans of all kinds. Not everyone can or wants to sit at a computer all day rendering. The waste is pretty negligible. Parts are often reused by studios or sold off to other studios and as souvenirs

@eleven: Do it! You won't regret it! They basically treated the movie as alternate history instead of fantasy. The attention to detail is astounding

The Phantom Menace actually has some fun practical effects too. They're just waaay overshadowed by the bad cgi

Voltie Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/08/15 18:07:52 )
haha his comment about it was that they went overboard with the cgi
so it really is the general feeling around it

but since I was new to it, I really didn't notice or anything |D

I've only seen LoTR one time during finals week when my roommate's friend decided it would be a good time to marathon the three movies |D

and after love and loss and all the tears that I cried, I find that here we are in the future

Voltie — she/they Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/08/15 18:12:05 )
Gotta marathon all 3 extended LoTR movies then :D

If Phantom Menace had come out first it would have been fine as a movie. But the original trilogy relied very heavily on practical effects so some things were very jarring to older fans ie. puppet yoda vs. cgi yoda
