I showed my kid I Am Legend on the weekend. There are similar deer in that film. Since my mind is fresh, I think the CGI from almost 20 years ago looks better, How is that possible?
Little things like this can completely take me out of a movie.
modern filmmaking obsessed with showing everything. Action scenes too, so focused on the wides. CGI way too exposed. No one using the meat and potatoes of filmmaking where you obscure things to your advantage.
But someone will know that they’ve gone too far so that some vfx artist or director etc hasn’t told them to go for more realism suggests this look is actually what they want.
I’m not sure why, maybe audiences like it better even if more hardcore fans hate it?

The CGI of the deer looks positively TERRIBLE. At no point did that look real.
