This and the fact that they also try to focus more on movement , again the t-Rex from JP compared to T-Rex in JW. It seems like they wanted to show the dinosaurs moving faster in attack mode trying to capture more realism like a actual dinosaur fighting another dinosaur ( ex. T-Rex vs Hybrid T-Rex in JW ) that when the CG starts moving to fast that starts to took distorted and simpleistic and turns out to look like bad claymation at times.

Yes, they all look like rubber dinosaurs with no weight to them. They also don't blend with anything in the scenes they're in. Just look at the final fight with the two Rexs and look how awful they look. There's no sense of tension since the CG is so bad.
 
Maybe it's some kind of US logic that I don't understand... I'll let it go.
MireGoji was the last good Godzilla design, 18 years ago.
 
Details are a fundamental separation of the best and worst executions. Look at the original Predator, before this forum and all the analysis with HT and NECA figures, I didn’t even know half the details to it were there because you hardly see them. I feel like in the old days, creatures were designed with a lot of thought and care but not so much regard for what will or won’t show on screen, movies like Predator and Alien lost a lot of details in lighting and such. Today, it seems like whatever details are put in, someone makes it a mission to show them off and it’s like a contest to see what details you can come up with to look cool on screen, even if it’s not best for the overall aesthetic.
 
They showed the trailer in IMAX just before Deadpool 2 and it looks even worse seeing it on a bigger screen. :slap

Oh man just imagine when the trailer for the new Terminator hits sometime next year and it's somehow worse than this. :lol
 
Dead is betta.

We've already gotten the best we can get from all these old classics. McTiernan's career is done after his prison stint. It's a damn shame. The guy was the cream of the crop of action directors.

The crowd in the theater when I saw deadpool 2 shared a collective groan of displeasure after this trailer played before the movie.

McTiernan was in jail? What'd he do?

EDIT: Nevermind, looked it up. He should've been thrown in jail for that insulting, god-awful Rollerball remake.
