Sure, it might still catch the intrigued ear of a movie buff drawn in by the allure of a big budget spectacle. But more often it has come to signal brainless popcorn fare featuring poorly developed characters, clichéd and familiar tropes and a de-emphasis on plot in favor of explosions, special effects and other visually stimulating fluff. In other words, think Michael Bay. But despite a cinephile culture that looks down upon these larger than life romps, there is no denying a broad appeal and lucrative value that have seen titles like “Captain America: Civil War” and even the widely reviled “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” rank among the highest-grossing films to be released so far this year. That level of success can be chalked up to a number of factors, nearly all of which are tied to the use of that big budget. By throwing buckets of money into the production of a movie, you can reel in A-list actors, piggyback on major film franchises and invest all sorts of resources into the promotion and hype of the blockbuster. However, the most eye-catching elements of many supersized contemporary movies are often produced not on an exotic, expansive movie set, but in a small digital arts studio office. Computer-generated imagery, more popularly known by its CGI acronym, has enabled films to capture just about every piece of science fiction and fantasy available to the human imagination. It has taken film-goers through the time from the Jurassic Park-driven age of dinosaurs all the way up to numerous takes on the look of our distant, as-of-yet-unseen future. Even stories once believed to be unfilmable, such as Where the Wild Things Are, Cloud Atlas and Life of Pi, have arrived on the big screen thanks to CGI. In the hands of the proper graphic artists and technologically savvy talents, CGI can transport the viewer seamlessly into a believable yet spell-binding world unlike our own. But placed into wrong and inadequate hands, the viewer can be taken right out of a moment they would otherwise be invested in, glimpsing behind the curtain of the film production and being forced instead to become aware of the shoddy work that has taken place behind the camera. While one might think that money, pressure and a thorough editing process might be enough to prevent any instances of poor CGI making it to the big screen, the history of blockbuster movies would suggest otherwise. It seems like an entitled and unappreciative complaint to bemoan the poor computer graphics inherent in a handful of movies. After all, CGI has given us such iconic Hollywood figures as E.T. and the shark from Jaws, not to mention allowing DreamWorks to bring life to some of the greatest kid’s films ever made. But those successes only serve to further increase the lofty expectations placed upon CGI-heavy blockbusters. If we know what incredible visuals can be achieved through well done computer graphic imaging and we also understand the eye-popping riches invested by studios in so many big budget projects, then why wouldn’t we expect only the best that the technology has to offer? That’s why these 10 examples of CGI done wrong in film stand out as examples of doing so little with so much opportunity.
