I wanted to like it... But it's kind of a mess. Chaotic-faster-than- light editing in the first act, music all over the place, (it's very obvious some moments would be much better if silent), plot revealed too soon and too fast...
0:46 I’ve paused several times during this scene and have always found something impressive: the detailed expressions on the CG characters; the fact that some of the Smiths run around each other to avoid colliding.
I don't know about British Nationwide, but USA has a large insurance company called Nationwide with a presence all over the country. Many of us grew up with the jingle, "Nationwide is on your side."
Instances of reflections of crew and equipment are seen in numerous films, even the best and greatest. Here’s one: in “2001: A Space Odyssey”, the part where Floyd is inspecting the monolith on the moon, look closely at the reflections off his helmet (Stanley Kubrick shooting with his Arriflex 35 camera?).
In The Empire Strikes Back, after C-3PO is shot apart and Chewie finds him about to be thrown out, a reflection of the crew is visible in the droid's head.
That specific Matrix fight scene caused me to get up and leave the theater because I was laughing so hard. Its uncanny valley effect was pretty obvious onscreen without a pause button.
Its lists like this that make me realize I just like to watch and enjoy movies and not be overly critical about them. Only noticeable ones that actually stood out was really the Robocop and Marvel ones which were kinda hard to miss even if you tried.
Sometimes I like it when they don't fix the flaws. But saw Wild Wild West in the theaters with a group of friends when i was a kid...we caught it. Also, never needed to pause Robocop to see that scene. And the Hulkbuster scene, I think it was stated that was a very last second decision to put that in there so it clearly wasn't given the proper treatment. Ironically that's what Marvel looks like now.
The stunt double thing in T2 is one thing. But later on when the T-800 rips his arm from the vice, Arnold stands up and you can see his arm completely visible in his jacket. That one is much worse than the stunt double lol
My fave underrated sci-fi is probably Safety Not Guaranteed, but I'm not sure it's really sci fi so... scratch that. My favorite underrated sci fi movie has to be Resolution by Justin Benson or the follow up The Endless.
I DID see the Wild Wild West "dinky" scene! I thought I'd imagined it, but you have proven it a factual occurrence! Thank you so much for that (he says through a 'did that really happen' look on his face). :)
"Dark City" certainly comes to mind as an underrated science fiction classic, considering how it was superseded in the cultural zeitgeist by "The Matrix", a few months later. I'd also put "Gattaca" on that list.
I actually quite like “The Island”. I think it’s one of Michael Bay’s best, and it has a banging cast: Scarlett Johansson, Ewan MacGregor, Steve Buscemi, Michael Clarke Duncan, Djimon Hounsou, Sean Bean…I mean, jeez!
I think it's funny you mention Stargate, but not Harrison Ford's reflection on the barrier protecting the crew when running out of the forest station in Return of the Jedi. It was still there when last i watched the streaming versions on Disney +.
Arnie’s stunt doubles never bothered me in T2. What did bother me was the motorcycle jump into the canal/ waterway/ whatever you call it. In all the shots leading up to the jump, the edge comes to a fine point. However, when we get the front view of the bike making the jump, the end of the edge is wide, and flat. There are a few such inconsistencies in the movie, that the person responsible for continuity should be ashamed of, but they don’t ruin the experience. Cheers,
I believe the Stargate TV show also had a problem with O'Neill's sunglasses. They rubbed something on them (vaseline or similar) to keep them from reflecting.
In Infiniti War Thanos himself, and Black Panter's oddly elongated arms stand out more than Banner's composite. When it comes to humans, or humanoid beings, photorealism is exactly that. "Photo" realistic. Once they begin to move, the CGI is exposed. The only CGI movie I've seen, so far, that suspends belief/disbelief is The Way Of Water, and only before that, the original Avatar. In my opinion the only person that seems to be only content with pushing the limits is James Cameron.
@@EnjoySackLunch Oh, I really didn't mean to sound rude at all if that's how it came across. Doctor Strange 1 and 2 are comfort movies to me, it helped distract me during a very difficult time in my life, I was struggling with depression, anxiety, and really dark thoughts, and 'Thor Ragnarok' and 'Thor Love and Thunder' helped as well. So yeah, they may not be the best movies, but they made me feel calm and safe when I really thought I wasn't ❤️
The Matrix one makes sense; there were a lot of resources needed by the machines to instantiate so many agents and visual fidelity wouldn’t be important during the fight.
in the future of ready player one a British bank has American outlets? so...? the deLorean wheel and the reflected crew are more substantive breaks. Bliss' glitch was a decision that added a layer, so what's the problem...?
Still get a kick out of Will Smith turning anything a little risky or not family friendly down like Django and Neo in the Matrix for shit like concussion or even worst the Wild Wild West.
No one will be a better Hulk than Ed Norton. Marvel definitely screwed up when they turned the Hulk into a bitch and not let him be the angrey Hulk. Plus, Ruffalo's Hulk looks so mediocre to Norton's version from "The Incredible Hulk." Also, in no point in the comics has the Hulk ever refused to come out and take over Banner's body. So, there was no reason for the Ruffalo to be wearing the Hulk buster armor. Ruffalo's version of the Hulk in the first Avengers movie was fine, but they dropped the ball big time after that. Oh, no one is going to watch "Wild Wild West" for any reason (junk or no junk).
Now we have a shorter version of "Everything Wrong With..."? I watched it a few times, decided that they were nit-picking jerks, and never went back. So a movie has a few seconds that fell short. Does that make "T-2" or "Robocop" bad movies? Or is this an example of someone copying the attitude of that other channel?
CinemaSins have 7m more subscribers than WhatCulture so that tells you all you need to know about the internet loving nitpicking. That being said their sister channel of CinemaWins also has more subscribers than WhatCulture so make of that what you will
The Burly Brawl's wonky CGI works in-universe as the exponential replication of Smith was stretching the limits of what The Matrix could show, affecting textures and physics even more than usual when an Agent manipulates the code.
OK all...look I'm not saying you should not watch it. I'm not saying there are not any good moments. But the movie COULD and SHOULD be better in many aspects. Story, cast, script, development, for me are the downfalls of this movie. I have seen it once and I am not in any mood to see it again like other movies I can't stop watching again and again. Cheers.
I suspect Whatculture has never heard of the Steisand Effect. Tell ppl not to look at something makes them naturally search for a dvd of WWW to pause on Will Smith’s junk.
