I think I'd like to elaborate my take on the choppy animation.

With both Appleseed movies, as well as FFVII:AC and all other CG films; when I notice the chop, or non-fluid stop-motionlike movement, my brain tells me this is CG and I sort of expect to see it. To put it another way, it doesn't surprise me when I see it. Therefore, it usually never detracts from my enjoyment. I'm simply astounded at how beautiful it is, regardless. Shocked


I can understand that, and to some degree I suppose i tell myself the same thing, but when I see a big CG movie like Ex-Machina with it's lush visuals but choppy animation, and then see a movie like Ratatouille with lush visuals AND fluid movement it makes me wish Ex-Machina had the same fluidity. Just imagine how awesome it would be if the characters did move that smoothly.

I guess I don't have an eye for 3D animation like some people do, because I'm not seeing this choppiness in animation that other people are seeing in Appleseed and Advent Children. I honestly never understood the complaints with the animation on these movies and never saw how Pixar movies look any better.

My thoughts here.


I seem to be the only one that is putting the first one a small notch above the second. Even though I agree the animation is better with Ex Machina. But alas, so is life. Laughing

Of course you're putting the first one above Ex-Machina a small notch. You're doing it to simply be a stick in th mud and showing that cranky side you mentioned hehe. Wink
