5 Films With Great Visual Effects

  • Post category:VFX

Terminator 2: Judgment day

This film is a 1991 American science-fiction action film co-written, produced and directed by James Cameron. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Robert Patrick, with Edward Furlong also in its principal cast as John Connor. It is the sequel to the 1984 film The Terminator, and the second installment in the Terminator franchise. Being such a famous sequel the film had great pressure in terms of putting VFX work and it succeeded.

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes

Building on the success of 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this tale of humans and super-intelligent apes battling for survival in a post-apocalyptic near-future is a technological masterpiece. Weta Digital’s CG creatures are very much the stars of the show, and have minutes of screen time with no human interaction. It feels unfair to single out individual scenes, as the effects are incredible throughout.

Pacific Rim

Pacific Rim showed some extraordinary work in terms of the visual effects that were inculcated in them. The best part about visual effects is that you don’t see its presence and this film made sure that it happened. Now, this film broke all records when it came to VFX. Not just that after watching Pacific Rim people actually started taking interest in visual effects courses.

Gravity

Some films are bogged down with effects; others are light fare. But Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, set in the weightlessness of space, is a rare union of ethereal CG work and a heavyweight emotional storyline. Anchored by Sandra Bullock’s central performance – or facial performance, at least: for much of the movie, her spacesuit-clad body is animated digitally – as stranded astronaut Dr. Ryan Stone, Framestore’s artists created an entire digital world.

Jurassic Park

The first Jurassic Park movie came in 1993 and that was when the power of visual effects was realized. The technology could create humongous sized dinosaurs that seemed real to the audience. Since then all the movies made in this sequel have been a major hit and set the bar pretty high for VFX students.
