Now, you're probably thinking. What the heck? There are tons of movies out there with AMAZING special FX. Well, I want you to name the most superb special fx gigs and stunts and visual arts, etc. you've seen out there! When i mean special FX, i mean like visual arts, superb stunts, interesting camera angles, make-up crews, etc. etc. I know this is very vague, but there is a lot of room for discussion here.
These are probably the most amazing special fx movies i've seen:
-LOTR series(Peter Jackson's vision is just superb and his amazing visual arts team brought it to life)
-Matrix series(this movie brought a new era to special effects; classy martial arts stunts, and captivating camera angles brought this series to be the most well-known special fx movies ever)
-I, Robot(pretty great special effects to make robots seem realistic)
-Terminator series(the whole special FX crew in the making of this series have brought so much realism in movies.....making cyborgs seem real, making obviously impossibe stunts look possible, and just bringing a whole aura of special FX possibilities)
-Harry Potter Series(ok ok! i know what your thinking now....what the heck is a kiddy movie doing in this category of special FX? well....harry potter was an amazing adaption from book to screen. This movie has proven that very complex, yet interesting novels CAN be turned into movies with breathtaking special FX. but it cannot be overdone, or the whole book------>screen process would be pointless.)
-Kill Bill Series(I mentioned this one because Quentin Tarantino shows us a unique still of making movies. He has taken classical kung fu scenarios, and mixing it with japanese martial arts stunts, and somehow incorporated sphaghetti western genre with the two. He has proved that there is a new 'kind' of style out in the movies. Besides, he has shown us very cool camera shots, and different color masks. Like in that scene where Uma Thurman is fighting all the crazy-88's....the colors change from normal color, to magnificent blue color, and then to a red kind of 'killing' color. )
-Star Wars(one of my best favorite series of all times. Even for an old time back then in the late 70's, George Lucas was still able to make it all so REALISTIC for us.....the outer space fighting scenes, the famous 'lightsaber' battles we'll never forget, the amazing explosions, the large-expanding war scenes and battles between the Galactic Empire and the Jedis. Anyway, it was a movie for real special FX geeks. lol)
Thats all i can think of now......i hope many more of you have more followups to the greatest special FX movies of all times.
