am i alone on this one? i just watched the hulk trailer and just couldn't stop thinking.
digital fx like these have always been a turn-off for me. i like my digi-goodness in an all digi world such as a video game or an all digital movie, cartoon, whatever.
the melding of digital characters in film, interacting with the real world and real people has never convinced me. for example, i would much rather watch the old skool yoda puppet talking to luke than watch digi-yoda talk to obi-wan. or fx in a movie like "the thing", imo, blow away most of the digital fx in films these days because everything today looks like a tech demo. the fx in "the thing" have character.
when the actor has something tangible there in front of his/her eyes, the result seems to be a world better. i mean it's THERE.
spaceships and the like can get away with it because it's inorganic material (although the idea of an old-skool model maker punching away w/plastic parts and a glue gun is pretty kick A$$).
