Top Ten Movies of 2015 with the Best Special Effects
This list compiles the movies released in 2015 that featured the most breath-taking special effects.Considering it's a Star Wars film, it was bound to have good visuals. However, because it was made at a time when there could be better effects than when the original trilogy was made, in my opinion, this is the Star Wars film with the best special effects.
I really respect any film that uses practical effects most of the time and only uses CGI when it absolutely needs to. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a great example of a film that does that. Even when there is CGI, it's still well done.
The movie could have just been a series of random images and I still would have been amazed with it because the visuals are masterful.
Considering that the movie was primarily made using practical effects, it absolutely blows me away.
Digitally re-creating Paul Walker for the end scene should have won this movie the Best Visual Effects Oscar. It really deserved it. The fact that it didn't even get a nomination was a pretty big insult.
If it's almost impossible to tell when Paul Walker was actually playing the scene or not, they obviously did something right!
Aside from 'Jurassic Park III,' each film in the series has brought the highest-possible-quality effects available at the time. Film number 4 did not disappoint.
There is nothing more badass than watching a T. Rex fight to the death with some raptors.
When it comes to quality effects, look no further than Marvel Studios. You know they're going to bring their A-game (see what I did there?).
The digital re-creation of the opening to 1984's 'The Terminator' is what earned this movie a spot on the list. You absolutely would not have been able to tell that the younger T-800 is CGI unless you had been informed of the fact prior to seeing it.
If you thought that they just merged bear footage in with Leo's performance footage, you're mistaken. That bear was CGI. Amazing, I know.
You will believe you are watching a man trying to survive on Mars. Not for one second will you doubt your eyes.
I've seen the trailer, and it's enough to tell me this is the best movie I will watch.
It won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects... somehow. The effects are brilliant, of course, but they're subtle. I definitely think it deserved the credit, but nonetheless, I am amazed that it beat out all these other films, many of which didn't even receive nominations.
Awesome movie. Not as good as the book, but it is a fair visual.
Watch this movie in 3-D and tell me it's not deserving of being here.
