XD
The Jungle Book, Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children, Fantastic beasts and where to find them, Warcraft.
The others? Hm… no. Specially Deadpool, X-Men:Apocalypse, Suicide squad and Doctor Strange.
( Warcraft had the best cgi we’ve ever seen, nothing can be compared, maybe Fantastic beasts and where to find them. Doctor Strange had some COOL effects but not so good, specially when they wanted to represent human bodies, it was so cringy in these scenes )
The Jungle Book is far and away the frontrunner here.
No, you can see many “weird” details added for making it 3D still: yes! One of the best cgi i’ve ever seen! (sorry for the bad english )
What do you think would be it’s other nomination(s)?
I think “Arrival” will win here.
Deepwater Horizon should be nominated, the burning of the horizon looked so real, I felt like I was there.
And forget about Fantastic Beasts, I was flabbergasted a how fake everything looked.
My predictions are:
1. The Jungle Book
2. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
3. Deepwater Horizon
4. Arrival
5. Passengers
