CGI Comment

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2004)

Since everyone's seem to have already sounded off on this movie's major demerits, I'll pick up on the most insignificant one I can pick on. The computer generated images of the hordes clashing are a joke. They could have spent more money on computer time to put in more haze since even the shield details are too stark to be real from the apparent distance that the viewer's perspective dictates. Also, where are the dust clouds one would expect from the fight scenes. When foot soldiers clash at each other in lines, clouds of dust will be raised. Details that seem to have escaped the FX guys who might have been the sole source of redemption for this "flick".
