An Ode to Zemeckis
Oh, Robert Zemeckis. Why did you think that motion capture will make you money? Why oh why oh why..
Oh how i feel for you.
I know you attempted to make a film that was rich with texture, and fantasy, and imagination. But, poor Robert, you just ended up with a piece of soulless poop. Really.
Watching this is like watching 3D animation take a step back in time. We’ve come so far in 3D animation since Toy Story, and Antz, and watching this was painful. The animation, or should I say acting, was just so wooden. How is an actor going to do their best work while they’re wearing lycra, and acting in a warehouse? It’s just not going to work Zemeckis, no matter how much money you throw at it.
The crowd scenes had little character to character interaction, the horses looked awful, everyone looked liked they’d shot up too much Botox, and the script fizzled after the first 30 mins.
Oh well. I guess we got to see Angelina’s virtual boobs and beaver.
