  • Well, if that’s how you win an argument, I don’t read IGN.

    But for those who are curious, in the first posted video he talks about a timeline walkthrough that the editor did. All the jets are CGI covers over F-14s painted grey with lighting markers, except the F-18s. HOWEVER, there were only ever 1 or 2 F-18s in the air, so when you see a squadron of them, the others are CGI.

    So yes, there were some real jets, but that wasn’t the argument you made. You said the film was done practically, which is not true. Even if you have 2/4 jets really in the air, that’s not “practical” and still counts as CGI.

    And I can see where you got this opinion, the news outlets at the time and all interviews spouted “NO CGI!!” Because it is good marketing, but it’s not true.





  • You know, sometimes I forget there are in fact forces in space. For some reason I was thinking about it like a small explosion of dust in atmosphere, but obviously all sorts of things can affect a massive nebula that spans light years. I think it was the fact that they look so blobby and constrained even when they aren’t really

    I should know this given I’m a huge space nerd, I think I desperately need more sleep lol
