Somhow we declined so hard that Ray Harryhausen flicks have better effects than AAA billion dollar budget movies. Amazing.
>>221804127>R-R-R-RATTLE HIM BOYS
wtf is this real?
>>221804127No they don't the movement of the skeletons is jank as fuck. If you saw this in a modern film you'd call it hot garbage.
>>221804127Skeleton bros how can fucking he?! I’m Bone village boy.
>No they don't the movement of the skeletons is jank as fuck. If you saw this in a modern film you'd call it hot garbag-ACKOK, pleb.
>>221805109It adds a creepy quality. That’s how monsters move in my nightmares.
>>221804127>sovl
>>221804127
>>221805163why is he incapable of doing action?
>>221805109how would skeletons move tho? They don't exist other than being motionless objects, so the movement is up to whoever decides they would in a film. Admittingly they may appear "jank" due to the stop motion used. The problem with modern films is they suffer from zero creativity hence why fight sequences look terrible.
>>221805109https://youtu.be/hgCw0YRMFHY?t=91
>>221805213Gee I don't know maybe check out any number of fantasy RPGs like Oblivion Tainted Grail or Dark Souls off the top of my head
>>221805151This. A patrician post.
>>221805163lol, cut scene every few secs. This is for an audience that suffers from ADHD, it's pure trash. AI video sequences could be done better than that locally on a PC.
>>221805163Age of Sigmar got a movie?
>>221805258Have an original thought every once in a while.
>you will never see another arisen skeleton get Bane'd in a Hollywood movie again
>>221805291He is right.
>>221805245the movement in video games is rubbish, they have a few animations which just repeat, the AI just does the same animation, the same movement. In addition if you had a number of skeletons they would all have the same limited animation movements. Also they just move like any other enemy, so really just another texture skin applied to the points of movement.
>>221805291not hearing a defence of the cut scene every few seconds. Do you like that kind of shit in movies, in fight scenes?
>>221805301
the comparison to harry Housen would have been absurd and untimely if Nolan hadn't attempted to turn the odyssey into an retroarchaiofuturistic cosmic horror flick, thus making his kitschy bullshit pale in comparison to the absolute horror that is the talos or skeletons scenes in the Argonauts
>>221805288This one is AI slop
>>221805109This is amazing because you know it isn't being done with computers, cope harder Nolanfag
>>221805163>a crucial plot point in the Odyssey is that Ulysses is the only one strong enough to pull taut his bow and this is how he's able to prove his identity at the end when he outdoes the suitors in the archery contest>in the movie Matt Damon barely pulls on the string hard enough to send an arrow flying two feetI don't know guys, maybe Nolan screwed the pooch on this one
There is a skeleton inside you right now.
>>221805602The clacking of your keyboard is MY bony fingers hitting the keys. Your flesh and your skin are but garments that I could discard whenever I chose.
>>221805245What a shitty post
>>221804127pairing perspective tricks and stop-motion like this is actually pretty cool. janky, of course, but very soulful.
>>221805163Norf FC
>>221805163lmfao the lazy sword chops against the boat
>>221805109It's realistic movement you fucking dork. I bet you think the statue drunkenly getting off its mound and taking some time to comprehend its sudden sentience the way someone who actually awoke from a long slumber would act looks lame because your capeshit bollywood addled zoomzoom brain can't comprehend how reality looks anymore. I bet if you were directing you'd have had it leap off doing 4 back flips creating a giant crater that blew rock 1000 feet in every direction while electric guitars played while making sure the screeches were loud enough to blow out the audience's eardrums.You have no soul.
>>221805258The cuts are trying to hide how bad the "action" is.
>Shot longer than 2 secondsNolan could never do this.
>>221805109This. It's extremely underwhelming, except for appreciating it's novelty back then.
>>221806328I like your style anon
>>221805163
for me its The Mummy
>>221804127I wonder if a modern film could pull off “stop motion” interacting with live actors without it being played off as being ironic
>>221806558The Mandalorian movie has a cool scene with two giant stop-motion robots
>>221806695Did it look cheesy ?
>>221806730no, it was pretty goodhonestly the puppets are the best part of the movie
>>221805350>Old good!>New bad!I think I can live with your disapproval
>>221805163this looks bad embarrassingly bad maybe he should pay tarantino again so that he can pretend this is the pinnacle of filmaking like with dung-kirk
>>221805163Is this AI?
those effects have aged somewhat well because it's stop motionalso the movie was kinda boring
>>221805187He does action scenes well like in Batman Begins where Batman is stopping the microwave train or rescuing the hostages that Joker dressed as clowns in the Darl Knight, but the fight scenes and choreography aren't as good as those high octane Kung fu movies.https://youtu.be/pyx7YRU4trsCheck out this Patrick Willem's video on Michael Bay and at the 15 minute mark, he talks about the similarities between the action sequences in the movies of Bay and Nolan.
>>221807888I'm not watching that lol suck my cock retard I watched Tenet and it fucking sucked dick
>>221805109>Skeleton>not moving janky and janglyRegardless the effect is cool and visually interesting for skeleton, the animation style works for Talos as well the giant bronze man. Nolans movements feel boring and clunky.
>>221805163love the bow going *plop*. he's barely pulling the string.
>>221805258>>221806361i think the cuts are also for the zoomer and gen alpha audience too
>>221805163How does it manage to be so dull and lifeless?
>>221805288This is just completely baffling.They run into some small trees, stops, stares confusingly. Then it looks like they turn around and suddenly there are trees behind them. Then it cuts back to the confused feller but it looks like he runs into the same trees AGAIN and stops AGAIN. Then it cuts away to guys running away and cuts back to (the same?) confused dudes being cut down. The person who edited this should never work again, in anything. That person deserves to be living on the street, begging.
>>221805245Dark Souls' skeletons do the fucking sheev spin and are no less goofy than the jason onesskeletons are allowed to be goofy, you yourself admitted it, the dissonance adds to the potential horror and the context is what makes it work
>>221805291Not watching it tranny.
>>221807030>old bad! >new good!Do you ever have an original thought?
>>221808231I actually think the goofy aspects might actually add to the creepy factor in a sense. Like in Army of Darkness. You're dealing with something that shouldn't be, or rather something entirely irrational and insane. They're evil and they're loving it.
>>221808634Yeah, like a medieval painting where they're shoveling infants into a pit of snakes or poking some guy with a spear for laughsThe levity of the skeleton is at odds with its action
I just think they're neat.
>>221805295Good movie. Probably peak skeletons right there.
>>221808888Surpised a game hasn't been made in this style
>>221804127>>221805109Why is Jason fighting Gal Gadot?
>>221808634>Me, watching this Movie horribly dubbed when I was 12 with my grandaunt in central Europe>Shes laughing at the Skeletons anf finds them funny>I ask her if death doesnt scare her>She answered that the living scare her far more than the deadI miss her
>>221807030And you still couldn't debunk it kek
>>221805163How hard is it to shoot a bow properly?
>>221805301are the trees supposed to be moving?
>>221809109
>>221809203QED
>>221805163>You're all big guys
>>221805301Dexterity bros, how we holding up?
>>221809128https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEG-ly9tQGk
>>221805163people are praising this, they are paying money to see thispeople are lauding THIS?
>>221809630This is the greatest film ever made according to critics. A technical feat surpassing Avatar, a story as grand as all three Lord of the Rings movies together.
>>221809657
>>221804127>skeleton loses his head>waves his arms around trying to find it again
>>221809630This is the vehicle for the Academy to finally give a trans person an oscar for acting. Well, the second vehicle. Emilia Perez went up in flames before they could hand out all the oscars for that one.
>>221805163>>221805288Reminder that Nolan had bespoke Imax cameras built to film this Youtube-tier slop.
>>221809711Everyone in this image looks deeply unhappy to be there lol
>>221809711Its the Emperors New Clothes, isn't itHe's conning everyone
>>221809711>>221809747
>>221809178You know what they say: Never let your guard down around huorns.... it doesn't rhyme, but they'll fuck you up.
>>221809711>After using IMAX 70 mm film extensively since The Dark Knight (2008), The Odyssey became the first feature film shot entirely with IMAX film cameras, primarily using a newly manufactured lighter and quieter version Nolan had specifically developed for the production alongside older versions.>Over 2 million feet (610 kilometres) of IMAX 70 mm film was used to shoot The Odyssey. As a single IMAX camera can only hold roughly three minutes of film, actors had to pause during longer scenes while the camera was reloaded before resuming their performances.Genuinely, what is the point of all this when it comes out looking like a garden variety Netflix show anyway?
>>221809764Maybe I'm just faceblind but that guy reminds me a lot of the bloke who played Toecutter and Immortan Joe.
>>221805245Oh, so bland is what you want.
>>221809845It does look a little like him, I see it.
>>221806558>>221806695>>221806730
>>221809820>As a single IMAX camera can only hold roughly three minutes of film, actors had to pause during longer scenes while the camera was reloaded before resuming their performances.That partially explains the schizophrenic editing
>>221805163To think I was about to spend $40.49 at the kinoplex to watch this...
>>221805288It looks like something straight up from Korean teen revenge dramas as "cool/funny" action scene or like something from a video game featuring live action movie segments like shibuya 428
>>221809747You'll like this angry Trojan soldier in the background of the NY premiere who looks like he wants to kill them lol
>>221810393>You did this to me, Christopher Nolan>You will pay
>>221804127Unironically one of the greatest movies of all time. Based OP not being a faggot for once.>>221805475Talos awakening makes my heart skip to this day. The sound, the jarring movement, the kinography... masterpiece.
>>221805109>the movement of the skeletons is jank as fuckThat's fucking good you idiot. They are animated bones. I bet you would prefer them rendered in 4k 120fps.
>>221810738>Skeletons would move jank because... they just ould ok!What do you think bones are doing in your body?
>>221811062Its an interesting discussion about visuals actually. The way your bones actually move in your body WOULD look very odd, because our brain is registering walking skeletons as some form of humanoid. Modern interpretations like Skyrim skeletons actually dont move like the bones would - they move like a very thin person with underlying bones.
>>221809820the technology doesn't make the movie good, people do
>>221810738Kek>>221811123Warhammer total war has the Vampire Count skelletons walk like puppets on invisible strings. Very kino.
>>221805288>>221805301If someone told me these were from an episode of Xena I could believe it. wtf happened, every clip I have seen today looks like ass.
>>221811291Interesting. In the end it would depend on the kind of force/magic applied. Would it simulate muscles contracting or just move them like puppets as you said. The second one would use much less magic RAM
>>221804127>>221805109Don't know what you're on about, I always liked that kind of animation.
Stop motion adds to the unreality of the situation. That guy is a fag don't listen to him.
>be a skeleton born from hydra's teeth>an old american man in makeup points at other old american men in makeup>on cue, I do a big silly scream with my other skeletons>life is goodThings were different back then.
>>221804127>weNigger I always said Harryhausen kino had more SOVL than Hollywood today. I appreciate that you finally caught up to my level but don't act like you were always like that.
>>221808917Dragon's Dogma is full of references to this movie. Skeletons move at a choppy framerate relative to everything else in the game.
>>221804127The problem is Noolang just took coverage shots. The height advantage can be shown from the human's POV looking up, SOMETIMES so it's not just tall dudes hacking downward like BORED BUTCHERS at the deli counter.
>>221805130Maybe I'll watch the "Malcolm in the Middle" revival after all...
>>221805163Was Nolan high when he directed this? Or does he want out in the most spectacular fashion?
>>221805109>nooo the unnatural horrors move unnaturally
>>221805163>cuts every four secondsI just had three seizures and shit myself. Thanks, Nolan.
>>221805109Btw this shit only worked with skeletons.With living creatures it looked MUCH more janky.
>>221809630Anything to own the racist (white) chuds!
>>221811944The pace of the cuts is almost metronomical. What is wrong with modern editing?
>>221805109i generally agree with your point, but this might be the one time where the jank stop motion quality actually adds to their depiction considering theyre skeletons.
>>221805163m8, since when did the ancient greeks have steel plate?
>>221811561stop motion animation like this always looks great when its a very unnatural creature like a statue like in this, or talos in jason and the argonauts. same goes for the skeletons. it really fits them and looks great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8goVW2TNlE0
>Imagine unironically thinking nolan is good at moviesWe literally share this board with this people. Shit tier taste. This guys only decent movies are literally with copy paste panels from frank miller comics or random animes. But normans who consume only mainstream slop and have shit general knowledge eat nolan slops like an indian is eating cow dung hot and fresh straight from the anoos
>>221806328Damn. I need to replay Dragon's Dogma
>>221805163what the fuck are those things supposed to be? laestregonians? they look like rejected dark souls enemy designs
>>221809820What a disgusting waste
>>221809128Like actually hit your target? Pulling the string back just depends on how the bow was built. More strength means arrows go farther
>>221811338I wouldn't cause I've seen xena and it was better than this.>>221811338
>>221812209>nolan adapted dark souls accidentallykek
>>221805163LMAOing out loud.
>>221812068For me it was The Mysterious Island.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9szq_K12hsMy first experience seeing stop motion monsters I must've been like seven at the time. I was so amazed by it that I took my dad's camcorder and started trying to make my own stop motion movies with my toys - transformer boxing matches, army men vs the playdoh blob, I had a big dinosaur figure and immediately built lego cities and just intuitively started doing kaiju shit. I still remember the first time I played one of my stupid sketches back - it was sloppy and I was manually pressing record and stop so I was effectively shooting at like ~3 FPS, but it still blew my goddamned mind that it worked.
>>221805109If I saw hand made stop motion animation done well in a modern action movie I would be impressed you retarded faggot.
>>221805301lmao did that guy at 0:18 slip on a banana peel?
>>221804127At one time passionate nerds were creating effects and constantly working at improving them. Then they got too expensive for jews so corners were cut and people who were just looking for a paycheck were hired. Jews then decided that they too were too expensive, so they shipped the work to Korea. Jews then thought Koreans were too expensive, and now we're seeing the skill of (or lack there of) pajeets working for peanuts, or pistachios.
>>221805163The actual state of modern cinema holy fucking fuckI'm genuinely sad
>>221813405Unfortunately, you can count the number of studios still doing stuff with stop motion on one hand nowadays.
>>221809178That's the only way these shots or the shit with the random tree wall make sense.But that's really fucking stupid if that's the case.
>>221805109Just nervous, there's no need to be so rude about them
Matt Damon as Odysseus is almost as offensive as Helen of Detroit. Armand Assante mogs that little twink faggot.
>>221805163Holy fuck this is terrible, there's no passion or sense of urgency in it. Matt Damon even fires a bow like a limp wristed faggot.
>>221805109but that's exactly how I expect skellies to move
>>221805109BONES! WALKING BONES!!!
>>221805301this fucking editing man
>>221805288This guy's facial expressions remind me of Samurai Cop.
>>221805109This is bait but it's not like the CG movement is "natural" either. You can always tell it's not real because it isn't.
>>221814313*it's not like CG movement
>>221812647Dark souls enemies don't have 3d printed armor that looks like plastic
>>221814266Reminds me of an old Jean Reno flick. Reno has a helmet that fits his head unlike this googly eyed weirdo in The Odyssey tho
>>221805109There's a video someone made where all of the stop motion is made smooth and literally everyone in the comments is in agreement that they all look better except for the skeletons which look way worse because they move exactly how you would expect skeletons to move.Now tell me I'm wrong because the comments are plebbit or whatever.
The only interpretation I can think of that sort of redeems Nolan is him leaning into that "movies are dreams" horseshit and him being meta and corny on purpose. Like some coked up HR karen dreaming a movie about a fake movie about the odysse featuring niggers and trannies. Or Nolan trying to rhyme like the greeks fleeing to the boat is anlog to the brits fleeing ze germans in Dunkirk. That's at least how viewed the Dark Knight Rises back in the day, like Nolan made a movie reluctantely but then took the piss secrelty. But I'm starting to think he's actually serious.
>>221805288You know how this could've worked? The greeks actually ate bad bread and got ergot poisoning and just went insane in the woods imagining CGI giants in plastic armors.
