Looks awsome, though seems heavy on cgi. I dought it will surpass the spfx of GFW.

Ultraman rules though, can't wait to check this one out. No, don't start calling it the GMK of Ultraman! Then you'll have a bunch of old foogies preaching that the film is overrated! :lol:

I agree that some parts look catoony, but then again, some parts don't, like when he flies up towards the camea - that looked pretty decent. The airplane did look cartoony, but so does everything else that hasn't been fine-tuned. It's a bit too early to judge the movie since it's set to come out early 2005, unless the date's changed.

OT:Now, if you REALLY want to see videogame CG in a movie, I suggest you check out the Devilman trailer here:

I'm guessing they tried to stick with its' anime roots....other than that, It could've been WAY better.....

CG is being used too much now - it's gotten to the point that nothing in the media is without CG.

Take for example, The Ninja Turtles.

It's a well-known fact that John Woo(who said he'd direct the movie after all of his current projects have finished) stated that the Turtles would be CG. Both he and the studio agree that it's the "best way to go".
Personally, I think the suits were realistic enough, and allowed the suit actor to move as freely as possible. Making a leap to CG would'nt feel right, and would totally crush anything Jim Henson put forth into their creation(He died during the filming of the second movie, BTW).

Now, take something like Jurassic Park, where suits, rigs, maquettes, and CG are blended into the scenery and perform really well together.

Then, there are movies where everything asks to be made in CG because there's no way something like it could be constructed in real life(or at least the company can't pay for it). Sometimes, the effect looks beyond amazing, while oftentimes, the effect is there, but it's lackluster....

Ultraman, Final Wars, and Tetsujin-28 are just some examples of fusing the real with the virtual to get a realistic experience, even if some parts aren't as detailed as others. Hopefully, the final product is entertaining and memorable enough to make any mistakes less noticable.

Number One: You've only seen a short trailer, one that is geared to get a WOW out of viewers.

Number Two: There are a LOT of suitmation battles with miniature sets, they just don't want to spoil the best stuff in the film.

Number Three: The effects in ULTRAMAN are going to blow the effects in GFW away.

Number Four: Effects/CGI should be combined to compliment the end result. Which is the philosophy of Tsuburaya Productions.

Number Five: The effects in ULTRAMAN are going to blow the effects in GFW away. Oh, I already said that!
