10 More Awful Times Movie Actors Were Combined With CGI

Dwayne Johnson featured heavily in our previous list of terrible actor/CGI combinations, and he's back at it again with 2018's video game adaptation Rampage.

On the whole, the movie's computer wizardry is really rather good, and everything that it needed to get right (the animals) it did get right. George the gorilla, Ralph the wolf, and Lizzie the crocodile look just as terrifying and powerful as they would in reality, and the CGI-fuelled destruction they cause is an entertaining feast for the eyes.

But nestled in-between all that action is this brief scene of Johnson - along with co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan - parachuting out of a crashing plane. Everything looks fine as their fall begins, but then, we cut to a close-up shot of the two actors yelling at each other... and it looks like something out of a nightmare.

It seems as though the skydive was shot with actual professionals performing the stunt, with the actors' faces being added in post-production. But it just doesn't work. Morgan's eyes look completely dead and Johnson's face looks smoother than Patrick Stewart's head, which ruins the entire illusion.

This does raise the question then... why include a close-up at all? Just show the two men plummeting down to Earth in a wide shot. That way, all the peril of the scene is conveyed, with none of this unintentional hilarity.
