so many effects artists managed to miss
this hey everyone I'm Rebecca and
welcome to watchmojo.com Ovie mughelli
ordered even my responses that means
we're going over mistakes related to
computer-generated imagery and films to
be clear we will not be including
intentional choices that ended up
looking bad like Wolverines claws and
x-men origins Wolverine or Superman's
weird face in Justice League okay let's
get to the list when I get the exclusive
yes ma'am
number 10 vanishing tank Fantastic Four
director Josh Trank's Fantastic Four
film has a whole host of issues with it
just ask josh trank but Ari cuts and
tonal issues aside the movie's effects
look fairly good if a little drab I can
feel it the energy it's alive
it's incredible however one special
effect scene led to an unintentional
mistake in a moment where been the thing
Grimm is attacking several tanks the
hulking rock man throws one of the
armored vehicles only for it to
disappear in an explosion he's been
active in covert operations with a 100%
success rate and by disappear we mean
literally the whole thing's gone without
so much as a scrap left
explosions should leave some kind of
debris but we guess they forgot about
that
Gosei it's fantastic number nine not to
scale avatar
despite its groundbreaking 3d effects
even a feast for the eyes like avatars
not without its CGI mistakes the Navi
the blue intelligent natives of Pandora
are among the most prominent CGI
creations in the movie but they're also
the source of one of its most glaring
missteps early on the Navi are
established to be quite large compared
to humans but when protagonist Jake
Sully meets Nick Terry for the first
time in his human body he holds his hand
up to her face while it should be
dwarfed on her much larger cheek it's
instead similarly sized to her face so
did his hand grow bigger or did she get
smaller
[Music]
I see you number eight Legolas defies
physics The Hobbit the Battle of the
five armies the CGI from The Hobbit
films has been largely criticized both
for its overuse and its quality or lack
thereof the final film in the trilogy
features the most CGI and a lot of it is
not the best leading to several mistakes
the one we'll be discussing in this
entry happens when Legolas is fighting
several orcs on a bridge during the
course of the fight the bridge is
partially destroyed as the blocks of it
are falling Legolas somehow manages to
run up them completely defying several
laws of physics
not to mention gravity we know elves are
kind of magic but not to this degree
[Music]
number seven wrong reflections Watchmen
though it divided fans of the source
material Watchmen is still regarded by
most as a visually stunning film whether
you think it's a faithful adaptation of
Alan Moore's dystopian alternate
superhero world or not even so one of
the movies most consistency gie
creations also led to some glaring
errors even if I wanted to help my
future is blocked
dr. Manhattan is the blue glowing
Superman of the Watchmen world and his
effect is created through motion capture
and a suit worn by actor Billy Crudup
however despite the level of detail
afforded to Manhattan
crude ups motion capture suit can still
be seen in the finished film in the
reflection of night owls goggles don't
even think about it
number six expanding whole Toy Story as
wonderful and influential as the first
Toy Story movie is it was still the
first entirely CG animated movie so the
animators were bound to make a mistake
or two when woody gets SIDS
Frankenstein's monster toys to assist
him in an escape attempt after he and
Buzz are captured one of the toys undoes
a light fixture to sneak through the
ceiling
however the hole above the light changes
size between shots allowing objects and
toys to fit into it that wouldn't have
before it's not something you'll
probably see the first time you watch
the movie but it will become pretty
obvious in repeat viewings number 5
disappearing men and guns The Matrix
another groundbreaking film in terms of
effects
The Matrix pioneered the use of
slow-motion with its revolutionary
bullet time and yet one of the movies
most famous scenes also features a major
mishap when neo and Trinity reach a
rooftop they fight and defeat several
soldiers before attracting the attention
of one of the powerful agents
this agent then fires at neo who manages
to dodge most of the bullets
ingloriously rendered slow-mo except
when time slows down and rotates around
neo the soldiers neo and Trinity killed
previously as well as their weapons have
disappeared from the rooftop you know
what we'll just put this one down to
being a glitch in the matrix
number four missing passengers in time
although this movie is generally
regarded as pretty forgettable it does
have an intriguing sci-fi premise in
which the amount of time one has left to
live can be traded as a commodity yeah
take five minutes regrettably this idea
is let down by some wood and acting as
well as moments like this one
protagonists will in Sylvia encounter a
spike trap while driving and are sent
off the road
not only does the vehicle that tumbles
down the hill hilariously look like a
toy car but will and Silvia disappear
from the inside for a few frames
perhaps the filmmakers needed a little
more time to sort this one out too bad
floods get a more beautiful number three
floating fruit Star Wars Episode two
attack of the clones with the prequel
Star Wars movies George Lucas went whole
hog into using CGI while the reception
to his directorial approach has been
quite mixed it has unquestionably led to
some screw-ups one of these occurs in a
scene between Anakin Skywalker and his
then love interest
senator Padme Amidala during a romantic
dinner between the two
Anakin levitates a piece of fruit
towards Padme spork
[Music]
when she starts to take a bite out of it
the chunk of fruit disappears before her
mouth touches the fruit truly the force
works in mysterious ways
number two huge army one face The Hobbit
the Battle of the five armies though we
usually try not to do multiple entries
from the same film we will make an
exception in this case since both errors
are pretty egregious despite how much
wet a workshop and Peter Jackson managed
to change the visual effects game with
the Lord of the Rings they kind of
dropped the ball with the prequels
nothing gets past me except an army of
elves as you may know one of the titular
armies featured in this film is composed
of elves and while the fact that they're
all rendered using CGI isn't unusual
since getting that many people into
costumes isn't feasible
what is pretty bizarre is that they all
seem to have the same face for how big a
budget this movie had that is a pretty
big oversight
I'll put the next one between your eyes

notifications number one many many
things cats cats took the internet by
storm and not in a good way
it's trailers elicited shock cringing
and horror at how bizarrely the
characters were rendered to look like
cats through the shoddy CGI
[Music]
audiences wouldn't know how bad it was
until the movie was released missing
effects gave several of the cat
characters human hands some were missing
fur facts and others just floated in
midair I judge a cat bite so and a
drumroll please
things were so bad the studio had to
send out a second version of the movie
with the mistakes corrected but sadly
for them the damage was already done
and cats bombed right well that's not
going to work is it that's what I say to
you okay what's a bigger fail the CGI
human Judi Dench hands and cats or the
Starbucks Cup in Game of Thrones I know
that wasn't CGI but still it's a pretty
big mistake anyway can you think of any
other CGI movie mistakes also to be
clear like we said we're not talking
about intentional choices that ended up
looking bad like the really ridiculous
tsunami surfing scene in one of the
Pierce Brosnan and James Bond movies
