Bad Sequence

-
- -The effects are not believable and are downright
embarrassing. The movie isn’t to be taken too seriously however the effects of
the scene are bad to the point of insulting to the viewer.
-
- Honestly there was no saving this movie so the
scene really just made the overall experience worse and now laughable.
-
- Well if you want to have a 60 foot megladon in a
movie called Shark Attack 3: Megladon then you need the effects to bring it to
life.
-
- Haha, most definitely grandiose. Sticks out like
a sore thumb on an already broken hand. Hard to miss a badly placed 60 foot dinosaur.
In closing, if you see this movie available
at your local rental store or on Netflix pass it up. Unless your life is need
of immediate humor. This movie makes me feel better about my ability to make
movies. It’s that bad.
Good Sequence
-
- Yes, immediately you feel as if you are part of
the bullets life cycle. The introduction by Nicholas Cage helps the beginning of
the bullet making scene flow flawlessly.
-
- It doesn’t necessarily add to the storyline it
does however give the introduction that “wow” factor and really pull you in
while also showing you the life of a bullet. That was however the purpose of
the intro. It was obviously a mix of 3D & After Effects/Final Cut.
-
- In my opinion trying to think of the movie
without this scene is difficult. It is widely known specifically just for this
opening scene. The designer should be very proud. So in my opinion, yes, it is
essential.
-
- Subtle, for the reasons above. It was flawless.
There weren’t any ridiculous effects it was just a perfectly done 3D sequence.
It looked as if the world’s smallest camera was a following this bullet. So it
did so much without displaying too much flash.
In closing, this is a very good
movie. It cracks my Top 100. This opening sequence had a moderately sized part
in deciding that. If you ever have the chance to watch and are interesting in
seeing how these “gun merchants” do business then “Lord of War” is second to
none. It also happens to be our previously professors favorite (or one of his favorite)
introductions in any major motion picture.
