[@adamborgia3880]

For the Tomorrow War alien - the Chris Pratt jumping scene is kinda rough, but as far as the size difference, I think it’s because the one at the end of the movie is a different, or at least younger version of the one we see in the middle part of the film. That’s how I remember it anyway, due to the time traveling aspect of the film’s central plot.

[@jikae10]

It was supposed to be the same queen as the one shown previously. However, because they found the dormant hive in their frozen stasis, it might not have grown to the bigger size. So, yes, I believe you are correct.

4:13 Niko is correct. This is actually a part of our psychology! Our brain's reward system depends far more on the build-up to a reward than the reward itself.

Fun fact: the rotating camera rigs in House of the Dead were really dangerous. They had them stand on a platform and had the camera rotate around the platform at VERY high speeds. It is said that the actors could have died if they moved too much because the rotation was THAT fast. Uwe is insane.

[@pathologicaldoubt]

Supposedly that’s originally the approach the Wachowskis wanted to take on the original matrix set for the bullet time effect but were discouraged due to safety concerns so they went with the many cameras route

[@AliLightfoot]

My old boss told me they had to do similar stuff on In the Night Garden of all things. The characters are all adults in suits, but comped together at different scales in the show, so sometimes a dynamic camera move would require firing a rig around at 40mph to get the movement to match up when scaled down.

[@arunsp767]

Did they have such high frame rate camera back then?

[@ethai1]

@@NicolaiAAA Yes! Some of them are impressive for 2006 and look decent today. I've been asking them to react to this and the spiderman trilogy for so long now. It's as if they don't actually take suggestions from comments.

[@dimbulb2959]

They should do that after No Way Home comes out, so they can compare the techniques

[@seijunsejuki]

The other thing that made Chris Pratt look weird in that shot was that he was way more in focus than the alien, like the director needed the audience to know it was him, even at the expense of it looking real.

[@RPGManoWar]

Yeah this is a case of, VFX artists doing everything that they can to salvage bad writing. The writer wrote in "Alien runs full speed across the snow, Chris Pratt runs in and catches it" but didn't really think through the implications of that. And the director didn't catch that and go, wait, does that mean Chris Pratt is outrunning the creature? You could've stuck Pratt on a motorcycle or a snowmobile and had him dive off to catch the creature. But, that wasn't in the script, director didn't catch it, so they shot it and handed it to the VFX house and went "do your thing" and I think they did what the could with what they were given.

[@Arcademan09]

I couldn't even tell it was him

[@johnlime1469]

Maybe Chris Pratt needed a bit more motion blur if he was going that fast?

[@noesunyoutuber7680]

Yeah, the physics are wonky for sure, but I think the real problem is the compositing wasn't quite right. There's that cut-out look where he's clearly not from the same shot. Whether it's too little motion blur, mismatched lighting, or some other problem, he just pops out of the shot weirdly.

[@thejaded]

Should've just been CGI..

[@VideoGameAnimationStudy]

*Explorers, 1985* by _Joe Dante_ Industrial Light & Magic pulled off some _wonderful_ shots in that film with the home-made spaceship. A particular shot is where the boys flying the ship are approached by a police helicopter at night, and there's a _full turn around shot_ of the helicopter circling the ship, first shining a light _on_ the forcefield, then shining a light _through_ the force field. How?

[@ZyxthePest]

That movie gets a LOT of flack for the ending, but it's pure magical kid's sci-fi for the majority of it and I, personally, don't hate the aliens. Glad to have the poster on my wall.

[@Fleetwing1627]

I've wanted them to do this for a long time. The effect was amazing.

[@josephschultz3301]

[@firekrys]

Now that the new Dune movie is out, I’d love to see you guys compare all three versions, 1984 move, and 2000 series, comparing the technology and the creative approaches to each. Sand worms, how they look and move in all versions, from the CGI to the practical shots. The Personal shields, how they moved from the ‘Minecraft’ versions to more of a glow around them, that has to be timed with their fight movements. (PS, I would love for you to try your own version, choreograph your own fight scene and put in your own shields) The blue eyes in the 1984 version, how they compare with the extra luminescent ones in the 2000 version, are those painted into each frame? Ornithopters, from the original versions to the really cool dragonfly versions now Sand effects - All those storms, and how they created the varying textures over the years. That’s just for starters, but an episode where you discuss all three versions would be great to watch.

[@Handelo]

11:30 The problem with the shot is the mismatched camera movement. The 3D CG Shot is extremely dynamic, the camera's bouncing up and down and all over the place, and then Pratt just glides in and remains in the same height and angle in the frame while the camera is still moving and shaking. Some compositor somewhere forgot to apply the 3D camera motion to his 2d cutout. Also, like you mentioned, Pratt's entrance feels too slow for the movement of the creature. It should have been double the speed.

Always in the back of my mind to suggest a CG review of 'Tomorrow War'. Happy to see it happened. Sam was dead on with the scene problem (Pratt jumping on alien). Suggestion to correct it? I was thinking if his image jumped on the alien faster (image speed of Pratt, motion blur, etc) it would look more correct/real. It would seem as if he was nearby & made a quick, "last minute" dive on the alien & stuck it luckily. I'd like to hear different theories on how to correct it from 'Corridor' and talented commenting individuals.

Maybe the next year cuz the movie is still on cinemas

everything was great in that movie.. except the power rangers kind of suit fight scene of Atreides.. that was really off.

[@MoonRov13r]

I just saw Hellraiser one recently and I'm interested to watch you guys break down the effects on how Frank reconstructs himself in the beginning of the film. Been a fan for a while. Always love watching your breakdowns.

[@lukasketner]

I love to see Cube getting respect from you guys. I'd love to see your take on the sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube. I have my suspicions on which end of Bad & Great a lot of that will land, but I still really enjoy the movie :)

That scene from IT never fails to make me flinch

Just saw snow-white and the huntsman and really liked the way they did the dwarfs. Maybe worth checking out the tech of how they did it. 👍

I love the analysis and reactions for horror movies from you guys specifically! Maybe Halloween needs to happen a bit more often hmmm

[@discflame]

The visual effects in The Foundation are really impressive. I think that's somewhere to look for clips to analyze

[@Geneolgia]

The Cube is good, glad you guys covered it.

[@missionmars4221]

I would LOVE to see your reactions to Little Shop of Horrors and/or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. They have so AWESOME vfx and some cool practical effects as well!

STARSHIP TROOPERS! watched this the other night and some scenes still hold up today. Also it has some great cg and practical effects. Take a look.

You guys should do a live action anime adaptations for one of your upcoming ones, you could do Gintama and Fullmetal (awful movie but I would love to see the VFX breakdown)

[@ammarahsan5469]

I just saw a movie called spectral and the "creatures" in it and effects for them are definitely something you guys should react to. You guys will love it

Dune should be included in your next reaction, the visual effects for that movie were impeccable!

U guys gotta react to an American werewolf in London. It’s still regarded as having the best werewolf transformation/transformation in general scene ever. All practical affects from 1981

The Tomorrow War is so underrated... I just hope you feature a lot more VFX shots of it in the future episodes of VFX React...

[@bloodrunsclear]

That scene of the high speed camera was so dangerous they have never done it again.

[@aredd92]

In Tomorrow War, the creature is smaller in those scenes because they are attempting to kill the aliens during the present day, before the "war" can ever occur. The "larger" queen scene takes place in the future, so it is inherently bigger as it has had time to grow.

[@krounos1]

Movies garbage and makes zero sense. Taking soldiers from the past just makes Earth weak, should of just used the past to fuel arms and develop weapons against the white spikes.

[@benstanfill363]

@@krounos1 that's exactly what they did? They took people from the past to buy them time to make a toxin to kill the white spikes.

We would like you react to the VFX of all the Spider-Man movies. Such as, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Which probably has the best effects in terms of Spider-Man’s movement imo), Tom Holland’s Movies and the Tobey Maguire’s movies. We would like that special episode due to the hype for No Way Home and because your analysis are fantastic. Waiting for the video :)

[@robertbrookes2000]

I have to admit that The Amazing Spider-man 2 has the best CG, particularly on the Spider-man suit and it swinging around New York, it looks so photo realistic. However I do think the Raimi series has some great practical effects namely Doc Ocks tentacles and they blend it pretty well with the times it's cg. Spider-man 3 also has some great CG like the goo of venom and particles of Sandman, although I do admit the physics are a little off at times. In comparison I think Hollands films look pretty bad, maybe because the definition of the film is higher so CG is easier to spot. But the suit I think looks faker as it's more skin tight and doesn't wrinkle. Some of the physics look floaty too, like Peter hopping on poles in Venice. There's a great video on Marvel overusing CG which I agree with, especially with the floaty head syndrome Iron Man gets.

The prosthetic from "THAT" scene in Bone Tomahawk, is none of the best I've seen! The whole scene, execution of the effects, and sound design are horrifically realistic and effective... DO IT!
