11 Major VFX Errors You Won't Believe Were Missed

We have recently come to the end of an era, with the Fox X-Men film series being taken out into the fields thanks to the disastrous Dark Phoenix. Clearly, along the way this series has had its fair share of ups and downs when it comes to the quality of the visual effects - you only have to take a quick gander at the claws in X-Men Origins Wolverine to know how bad it can truly get.

With some of the more recent offerings though, the FX work has mostly been stellar. Go and look at the Sentinels again for a quick, irresistible example of that. For the most part, the VFX in Apocalypse are also pretty good, with skin not looking like rubber, or even the massive world-ending back third coming across as if it really happens before the audience's very eyes.

The real fault comes when the action homes in on Magneto though. At the last moment he sees the light and rejoins Charles and the X-Men to take on their greatest foe yet, deciding to launch tons of metal at Apocalypse. All is going swimmingly until for just one brief frame it all vanishes. This is no magic, this would’ve been a render error, which was most probably missed when VFX shots where being finalised.

The weird thing is that to this day, it has never been fixed.
