10 Movies Ruined By Creepy CGI
3. Cats
No movie in recent memory has been more pervasively slammed for its bungled visual effects than Tom Hooper's Cats.
Given the intense secrecy of the film's production, many were curious to see how Hooper's star studded performance-captured adaptation of the hit musical would turn out.
And, uh, the results weren't good.
Armed with a $95 million budget, Hooper decided to slather almost every single frame of the movie with as much garish and repulsive CGI as possible.
Due to the film's rushed production, this resulted in countless issues with characters' limbs disappearing through the entirely CGI environments, but what truly killed Cats dead was the decision to graft the faces of a recognisable cast onto feline-yet-humanoid bodies.
The effect just isn't good enough to reconcile the human with the cat, instead more closely resembling a free phone app filter. There are literally even scenes where the actor's face doesn't line up properly with the dimensions of their furry equivalent.
And that's without even discussing that horrifying mouse-and-cockroach musical number starring Rebel Wilson, which is nauseating enough to basically be a cinematic hate crime.
