There were challenges with production because of the special effects. There are just some things that, although written, special effects just isn't able to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's all about the special effects.
Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
I think some of the special effects in Close Encounters hold up better than the new more expensive special effects is because they were better actually.
I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there. You have to trust the director and react to nothing.
To try and raise a budget for a film that is strictly for adults and both strong and graphic in content is not easy, especially when there is pressure to spend serious money on good special effects.
And it's very hard to do this stuff too because there are so many effects movies being done, so many companies busy doing this work and the public just wants to see it. Good work is being done all over the world.
Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.
Special effects movies have taken over the universe. That and scary movies.
I'm not afraid of special effects, but I see them very much as a means to an end.
A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.
