The Force Awakens: A CGI Film Stormtrooper 01/23/16 (Sat) 09:38:19 No.11554

Can we talk about all the CGI that JJ used in the Force Awakens? He promised that he would not overuse CGI and stick to the Original Trilogy practical effects.

Yet what does he do? He makes the Millennium Falcon 100% CGI. He makes Snoke 100% CGI, Maz CGI, that temple building where Han goes to see Maz CGI.. WHY??

George Lucas for the prequels used lots and lots of miniatures believe it or not! JJ hardly went this route at all.. YET for him to have the nerve to state that his film would incorporate less CGI and more actual props and effects…

So much realism was wasted with this film. I just could not put my eyes on the Falcon and "believe" it was real with its animated graphics.

you do know they built a full-scale falcon solely for filming and attractions, right? of course anytime outside of those interior scenes it was cgi, and no miniatures were made whatsoever.

please give me a pic of this falcon that they built so I can see. Yeah I suppose all the Falcon shots when it was stationed were real. BUT I still would have liked to see some miniature shots of the falcon moving in the air like Lucas did back in 70's/80's or have we become so different with filmmaking that for using a moving miniature is labelled as a "disgrace" in 2015/16?
