Aliens vs Cops

Film ends with a beat up Xenomorph in the back of a cop car crying.

Official report says the suspect drew a handgun before being gunned down by the officer... As of yet, the police has not released the patrol car dash cam video. Witnesses claim they saw no handgun and that the suspect was profiled due to xenophobia

So, what's next?

The new trailer is amazing.

You think? Geez all I see in the trailer is the Alien 3 level cgi.....I mean has everyone just gotten super lazy with cgi? Those aliens looked like ****!

They move like gravity/physics has forgotten them.....it looks awful. The cgi in GOTG looks just as bad....

What has happened to the cgi artist out there? The last decent cgi I saw was Dawn of planet of the apes....before that? I dunno.....

I don't think CGI looks any worse than planet of the apes.

I also don't think it looks bad, yes, there is a bit of weightlessness to it, but the model itself doesn't look bad imo, I'm not sure if we're just so very conditioned to look at all CGI as uncanny valley, even when it's non-human, I can't help but to think if we actually saw a Xenomorph launching at us, it would look exactly like that.

We're on the very verge of overcoming uncanny valley, it's only a matter of time before we can no longer tell the difference, but we're gonna have to endure the latest movies on which all CGI looks the same, not actually bad, but very eye popping due to the uncanny valley.

I think this UV is reduced to two things, lighting and unnecessary animation. Like Leia and Tarkin, their skin doesn't quite catch the lighting like real skin does, and when trying to "act" they over-emote the tiny facial animations so they never look "right".

I could tell from second 1

But I think their point stands, it's aaaaalmost there. And it's scary.

 

[crows]

watch at minute 1:15

 

[GasparZizou]

That's what I'm saying, that I could tell it was fake instantly.

The perspective was off when she moved the face up and down and to the sides, and yeah the lighting hit the face differently to the rest of, well, everything, like if she put an inch thick foundation layer.

The thing is, I was alert since we were on the topic, had you posted this in the middle of a random conversation or while I wasn't expecting it, I might've been fooled by it. So yeah, the point they were making stands imo.

There's a youtube video about how CGI it's used in the background, and we absolutely have no idea, we're getting there with humans too.

So apparently the guy doing the mocap and suit work for the alien is this guy Javier Botet. Dude has a reeeeally unusual body structure and has portrayed many horror creatures before. Crazy looking dude

 

[GasparZizou]

Oh he's the dude from Rec 2.

Maybe the body suit parts will be awesome, that gives me hope.
