CGI Killed this Movie

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2002)

CGI Killed this movie. It lacked any kind of physical presence. The models and puppets of the original movies may be more cumbersome and time consuming, but at least they are physical matter, and they look a lot more realistic than the digitised backgrounds and characters in AOTC. This movie is basically an animation with a few humans here and there. Terrible dialogue, and moments of terrible acting. The original films had a great lived in look that was very believable. As CGI takes over more and more, these kind of films will drift further and further from any kind of physicality and realism until they won't bother with actors or human emotion at all. Also, George Lucas obviously has vision and an amazingly creative mind, but the man needs a director to give shape to his ideas. Look how good Empire turned out with Ivin Kreshner at the helm. George please let somebody else direct Episode 3. Overall I give this film 1/10
