first shot: real prop with keyed UI panel. second shot: VFX version on the suit model.

as someone who consumes a lot of entertainment or as a creator, how did the VFX in the Flash (2023) seem to you? The movie has been delayed, changed director, writers and been reshot extensively. If this is the result it’s at least interesting to see shots like this in a $300+ million summer blockbuster. I also feel for VFX workers who had to do crunchtime and come up with passable solutions like this because of the unrealistic deadlines hollywood execs came up with.

    I haven’t seen it yet, but just wanted to say it boggles my mind that between the announcement and release of this film we had 9 seasons of a better version of The Flash in Grant Gustin.

      I quite enjoyed the series as well. Even though CW made the arrowverse like a mix of soap-drama and action it kind of hit the right spot between stupid and fun.

      The CG elements are lit from different angles with different color temperatures, it looks like the movie version of making collages by cutting pictures out of magazines

    I know I’m an outlier here, but I really enjoyed the movie. The CGI wasn’t perfect, but I don’t care. There’s so much CGI in the movie, some was bound to be shite. It’s WB after all, what haven’t they fucked up in recent years? I think the bigger problem is the association with Ezra Miller and this version of Flash being pretty childish and weird.

    But I love a good Flashpoint story, and I’m excited about Gunn’s DC.
