10 Recent Movies Guaranteed To Age Terribly

1. The Hobbit Trilogy

Watching Peter Jackson's The Lord Of The Rings trilogy over a decade after it was first released and it's clear that so far it has withstood the test of time more so than many blockbusters. Jackson's emphasis on practical effects, make up and minatures has ensured that it looks as good today as it did upon its release. The same probably won't be said for his more recent adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, needlessly protracted into three lengthy movies in what many people saw as a cynical exercise in getting as much money out of punters as humanly possible. The real drawback for the Hobbit trilogy lies in Jackson's committed move away from practical effects towards more CGI, which has meant that already some of the scenes have more in common with video game cutscenes than they do the epic battles from The Lord Of The Rings. The decision to shoot in 48 frames per second - adopting new technology before it has been fully tested - will only add to the rapidity with which The Hobbit ages. The fact that no other filmmakers have taken to using this technology since speaks volumes to its short lifespan in the industry. What other recent films do you think will age terribly? Why not let us know in the comment below?
