@amgr34umr Well then let me inform you that Matthijs had every intention possible making this as practical as possible. The movie was shown to the studio in all it´s glory with what u see above. WHich is pretty much 90% practical&10%CGI.The STUDIO did not like it they thought the creatures were not scary enough or moved to slow. they demanded CGI & re-shots to make it look more scary and fastpaced. So no don´t blame the director his intention was awesome the studio fuckit up NOT the director.

@IronRooRoo You know its twats like you who ruin people having opinions. Clearly no need to burst out with "eat a dick faggot" I had my own opinion and all you needed to do was come back with the second half of your argument. Pipe down big fella.

@blueluny You named your hand 'ex girlfriend'? Cool story.

@MultipleInsurgents Eat a dick faggot. The crew had nothing do with it.

The producers and studio FORCED them to replace it all with CGI. Blame the producers and the dick heads at Morgan Creek.

What a waste. These monsters are a 'Thing' of beauty & I will only pay money to see this film when they put the director's original cut on a future dvd release.

I've never understood this obsession with CGI. No film with CGI in it will look timeless, in 6 or 7 years even Avatar will look dated, hell it looks dated all ready.

Take Blade Runner from 1982, they shot the special effects on a tight budget and limited schedule and still it looks glorious to this day, even in HD.

There isn't any movie magic any longer.

ADI: "Wow we've got a great plan... lets do some really awesome Visual Effects with mechanics and models! That will please the fans of the orginal and also save us money yeah! :D"

*Few Months later* "No fuck it we'll layer the models with CGI that will do the job :D"...... -.-

R.I.P Good Film-making.

It sucks the final film turned out to be crappy CGI.

@NotNamedJones well, it's still shaping up, far from its peak, I should imagine. I agree that sometimes practical effects look better and are more called for than CGI. It just pains me to see the hard work of CGI artists regarded as some sort of cheap parlor trick, that's all.
