Justin mentioned a CGI shot: On 3/25/2017 at 9:17 PM, Selina Kyle said: But it has that amazing CGI shot no one notices! Oh, I re-read your question and understand what you mean now. He might have been talking about the shot that starts like a normal shot, and then when she reaches the mirror, you realize was in the mirror the whole time then continues outside the mirror.

Jay 37,351 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thinking back a bit, '97 might have been the year that cemented my love of cinema. It was the first year I really saw a lot of films in the theater, primarily because I had just gotten my license the year prior I suppose. Of course '99 was the best year for new movies outside of maybe '07 in a long while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 My love for cinema really started with VHS. We didn't go to the cinema at all much growing up. But we did rent loads of movies. Star Wars, Star Trek, the Spielbergs, 80's action like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon etc. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 X-Men: Apocalypse. Starts off really well but then becomes a CGI laser light show by the end. But at least it's engaging CGI because the characters at the heart of it carry the whole thing with interest. So now I've seen every X-Men movie. Took me a while.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hey I thought it was good. It lacks some focus, but makes up for it with all the Quicksilver stuff and John Ottman's score is one of his best. Ally Sheedy has a quick cameo at the beginning and she still looks nice for her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
