When I saw Inception I was dumbstruck by the hallway fight. Had no idea how they did it. When it came out on blu-ray I took that day off of work. Was outside Best Buy before they opened, bought the movie the second they unlocked the doors, rushed home and watch the behind the scenes. I just had to know.
I know there are some people that say the actual Trinity scene was a letdown, and I could agree to an extent. However, I can’t help but appreciate how they got those shots as opposed to using CGI. Love this type of footage.
The Trinity test build up was incredible but the actual explosion was so disappointing and a very clear instance when CGI definitely was the route to go. I commend the effort of what they achieved practically but there’s a point where you just have to put aside your ignorance and distaste for CGI and realise that it’s a tool that can achieve the same level of quality as practical and in this case better if given the time and money it needs.
The best effect was the shaking effect when Oppenhimer was talking/thinking.
In the cinema I really thought it had to be done with CGI, but this BTS is impressive and a clever way to make it practical. For me this was more impressive than the explosion for trinity.
“the computer graphics would never give you a sense of threat that would you get from real life footage”
Press x for doubt.
Independence day, Men in black had good cgi explosions.
Hell even terminator 2 nuclear explosion was better and that was from 1991.
TIL people think the movie *Oppenheimer* is about a bomb exploding.
It looked like absolute shit
