10 Worst CGI Moments From 2022 Movies

8. The PS3-Caliber Car Chase - Moonfall

Though Roland Emmerich's latest - and possibly last - disaster porn spectacle Moonfall offered up a ton of visually dazzling digital carnage, it's also clear that the VFX team devoted their resources more to the large-scale mayhem than the smaller, contained set-pieces.

Case in point, we have the hilariously awful car chase where Sonny (Charlie Plummer), Tom (Michael Peña), and Tom's kids are pursued by a gang of shotgun-totting thieves, leading to an eyesore of a vehicular chase that wouldn't look amiss in a PS3 game cutscene.

From the low-fi 3D renders of the cars to the janky physics, unconvincing background elements and how poorly the actors are all composited into the environment, it's a grotesque laugh riot that would appear more at home in an Asylum knock-off of an Emmerich film, rather than one from the blockbuster auteur himself.

That such a wretched looking scene made it into a $150 million tentpole is all the proof you need that Hollywood's blockbuster accounting is hella suspicious.
