Matrix Revolutions.

It wasnt even that great to begin with, but watching it the other day...horri-bad.

I watched Jurassic Park, and it still looked pretty damned good.

LOTR Trilogy's cgi is a little dated, but I wouldn't call it bad.

The plane crashing into the water in Air Force One looked fucking terrible in the theater. By now it must be awful.

That fight scene with the Smiths in Reloaded was so fucking horrible. It looks like someone made a CGI model of Neo then used MSpaint to color it in. Let's not get into the flying scenes.

Legolas and the elephant thing at the end was pretty bad when I first saw it, lol.

Saw this one recently. It's turrible :lol


The Mummy Returns comes to mind. The Rock's head on the scorpion took the cake in that movie.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this travesty. Also when the Smiths got knocked out on congrete or hit with something it sounded like fucking bowling ball hitting the pins. Pathetic. :lol

I agree, the air plane in Air Force One has not aged gracefully. It looks like a 1990s PC game.

Recently watched the enhanced version of the star wars original trilogy again. Man the lucas added effects look even more ridiculous and out of place. The worm coming out of the Sarlacc in Jedi is just laughable.

Damnit, that is exactly the scene I was referring to. It was Reloaded? smh Good call.

Yeah, it was one of the most pointless fights ever. I remember first time watching it, I was thinking "wait, Neo's the one so he can't lose this fight. And Smith was already 'killed' but apparently can't die. So what's the fucking point?" All the while I'm looking at terrible CGI and hearing stupid sound effects....fuckin Wachowski brothers. Or whatever the fuck they are now.

Yup. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the animation in roger rabbit when Christopher Lloyd changed

Escape from LA and Johnny Mnemonic haven't aged gracefully.
