Realism of Thanos

Thanos was made to be as real as our minds will accept. We need to avoid the uncanny valley when apron Chong works of CGI, but that doesn't limit the detail in physical performance. Thanos has animations that make him feel physically in a scene. His mass obeys the properties of physics and feels present among the olive action actors. Someone said how Thanos was made to be less realistic in order to not freak us out, however, I believe he was produced so realistically in order to make us truly fear him.

    To be honest I never felt the realism of Thanos or the other villains and it kept taking me out of the movie-- I recognize the work put in to make him feel physically in a scene but for me it didn't work for me

    I saw Infinity War the day after I first saw Avatar and I was amazed at how much motion capture grew in just 9 years. Avatar may have been mind blowing at the time, but looking back, the performances really aren't compelling because so much is lost when translated from actors' faces to animated characters' faces. Thanos, on the other hand, looked as real as any other character. There were so many little intricacies that were just totally profound to see coming from a CG character---it seemed like there were four times as many dots on Brolin's face than that of Worthington's.

Bratz: Rock Angelz is the movie I didn't know I needed

This weekend, I watched the hit 2005 animated movie Bratz: Rock Angelz. This movie was one of the first Bratz films in CGI, and let me tell you- the plot is ALL OVER THE PLACE. The girls start a fashion magazine and use stolen passes to get into hot London punk clubs, but when they lose their passes they decide that the only way to get into the gig is to become a rock band? This movie can be considered capitalist propaganda- the Bratz shop in order to destress about their problems, and it's an implemental part of their lives. They don't have jobs either- Jade has an internship, but only for three hours until she is fired. Chloe meets a TRASH British prince and ignores her best friend Yasmin who finds celebrity judge Byron Powell's (I don't make this stuff up) dog, Ozzy. Jade and Sasha try to do a photo shoot for the magazine, but Sasha micromanages the whole thing and makes her friend feel bad! And this whole time, there's these two evil blond twins (Kaley Cuoco PLA...

The New Spider Man!

Yesterday I saw spiderman with some buddies and we all walked out absolutely giddy! This animation is the best animation to hit the theaters in 2018. Period. I remember watching it and as I was watching it thinking, "thank god I already finished all my reviews because I don't think I can put into words how good this movie is in just a page". The style of this animation is something you have never seen before from Hollywood. It is absolutely stunning. It follows traditions of comic book artists with bright colors, dark lines on the face, and a pop art texture overlayed on top of everything. My breath was taken away during the final fight scene: it was gorgeous , emotional, and the stakes were made clear in every shot. Not only was the animation fantastic, but the story was also so well told. Every character had a meaningful arch or something you didn't expect from them. Every relationship and turning point felt genuine and earned. And you didn't have some v...
