To believe a story it have to be plausible, the picture are to be realistic, as the story has to...ANY KIND of , has to.
When you see this digital artifacts, can you still be part of the film ?
DE-FI-NI-TI-VE-LY not !
Think of Spiderman, the chase scene...Can you look at ?
Happy new year, by the way....

When scenes can't be filmed the old fashioned way, how do you propose filming them? - Audiophilander 08:15:42 01/01/03 (3)
Okay, so what you are apparently alluding to is that you don't like SF & fantasy; well, that's cool, but don't be a Grinch for the rest of us who like the genre. The fact that some folks have an imagination and others don't is just a fact of life.
Cheers,

    I won't argue with you about effects being overused or at least poorly used in some of today's films. In many cases they are, but a lot depends on the story being told. For instance, you mentioned Spiderman, which has become a favorite of mine. How could that story have been rendered without the special effects that were employed? Truth is, I wish that there had been a bit more in the way of special effects in Spiderman because they were sparsely employed, but it was a satisfying movie nonetheless, with wonderful live action character development. The point is that the STORY was well done and the LIVE ACTORS believable; that's what carried the movie even though there were one or two places where the "effortless acrobatics" rendered through CGI shots could've been a little more believable.
    The problem I had with your criticism of CGI "abuse" is that you threw out an opinion in very general terms without getting specific as to which movies and which shots offended your sensitivities. You can't expect to make a blanket statement damning the use of special effects in contemporary movies without getting negative feedback. OTOH, I'm beginning to suspect that the muddled phrasing which I jokingly attributed to New Year's Eve alcohol imbibing may simply be miscommunication especially if English isn't your first language. In no way was I trying to ridicule you; if there's a language barrier that I failed to detect then I offer you my sincerest apology.

      The final chase scene was badly done, the digital effects were really not the best....
      No, no no offense to me, imagine a board with all the people shares the same view.
      The fact is that even in fiction films like Spiderman ( beside the others misses ) the effects are robbing my pleasure to look at...
      The over use of this, take the soul out of every picture.
      It is generally speaking, a critic for the over abuse of this technique...it is simply put down, an over kill.
