10 Worst Movie CGI Of 2021

10. Yelena Gets Yeeted - Black Widow

For a $200 million movie that took almost two years to release after shooting wrapped, it's shocking how poor some of the VFX are in Black Widow.

This is especially, predictably true in the film's CGI-heavy finale, particularly in the infamous sequence where Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) uses a weapon to disable villain Dreykov's (Ray Winstone) aircraft.

The entire exchange between Yelena and Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) suffers from mismatched lighting - their faces are much brighter than they should be - and poor CGI smoke, but the real kicker? The explosion that propels Yelena into the air.

The two shots of Yelena flying through the air are impossible to take seriously. It's incredibly obvious from the movement of Yelena's body that she's being pulled on a wire rig - nobody caught in a real life explosion would ever arc through the air with their weight being distributed like that.

Sure, it's a silly action scene in a ridiculous Marvel movie, but our brains can still detect, even unconsciously, when the physical rules of the world don't add up. Simply, this beat looks embarrassingly shoddy for an MCU production.
