10 Terrible CGI Movie Moments You Can’t Unsee
Sometimes all the money in the world can't buy you a believable Symbiote.
No film director ever sets out with the intention of delivering a bad looking movie.
It wouldn't make sense.
So, it must be devastating as a filmmaker to pump your heart and soul into a project only for it to be weighed down by a few (or more than a few in some cases) god awful CGI moments.
It must be said that designing computer generated imagery is no mean feat. It can take months or even years for visual effects teams to craft high quality CGI sequences for a feature and even then there's always room for improvement.
However, the likes of Avatar and Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame have now shown us what is truly possible when it comes to the world of CGI in film.
So, that's why it can be so painfully obvious when a particular effect doesn't stick the landing...to put it politely.
It doesn't matter if you've got a Marvel Studio backing you or a cast of living legends to play with, once fans around the globe spot a moment of terrible CGI in your movie you can bet that it will be near impossible to unsee that beat of badness from there on out.
10. Baywatch - Worst. Fire. Ever.
2017's Baywatch got you into the cinema for one of two reasons.
You either wanted to stare at the pretty cast for two hours. Or you heard that the film was rated R and wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
What you definitely didn't expect to see was out of this world CGI effects which would have made Steven Spielberg proud...
...and it's a good thing, too, because we definitely did not get that in this Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson vehicle.
The infamous moment which stands out as one of the worst uses of CGI in modern movie history happens during Mitch Buchannon (Johnson) and the gang's daring attempt to rescue some civilians from a burning boat in the middle of the sea.
As they get close to the floating blaze, it becomes clear that these flames are 100% fake. Painfully fake. I mean the fire looks like it was designed on Minecraft.
The flaming effects don't get much better once Mitch makes his way inside of the boat, either.
Thankfully the entire clunky sequence doesn't last much longer than five minutes, so fans are free to get back to enjoying the view of the cast soon after.
