2009 CGI was NOT supposed to look this insane…

Some of those 2009 effects still look better than what big studios ship today 👀

AI could never replicate this computer destroyer

Say what you want about Revenge of the Fallen, the one thing you can't deny was on the CGI/VFX was on a whole nother level. The amount of delicate time it took for the devastator collect these vehicles to transform before wreaking havoc is ASTOUNDING.

At the cost of several computers at ILM, to which I would say “Maybe we shouldn’t do this. Let’s not have this incoherent blendered mess of 50,000+ individual parts.

How does this look better than cgi now?

Bayverse Devastator holds the Guinness World Record for most complicated 3d model used in a movie by the way. The model alone was 32GB

They gave it balls.. 🤣

Robots and metal is actually relatively easy to render compared with people/animals making a giant robot is a million times easier than a person or dog or something

Esse CGI é tão pesado que trava meu computador só de assistir

Back in 2000's and earlier 2010's CGI was still done with love and time when done right...now it's the equivalent of fast food

The Best ever CGI/ VFX made in the world cinema History. Avatar comes only second to this one. Transformers 1-3 was absolute peak ❤️🐐

Horrible thing they did to devastator

Didn’t this thing have giant nuts?

he just went in raw, didn't even use assemble grease or oil

Michael Bay should be in jail for what he did to Devastator in this movie.

imagine a former animator at ILM sends out resumes to work at a different studio, the recruiter looks at the resume and they see fucking Devastator from TF2 on there.

zero fiction zero story full cgi

Started laughing as the tension sound just kept going up as it took forever to assemble.

Boring scene though

They don't make good CG like this anymore

2009 was the future

Why does the aspect ratio keep changing

It don't really look that impressive...

I swear they use ai

Ive never seen it this clear

It’s a bunch of twisting and cranking mechanical nonsense

imagine rendering this beast

So cold

Sometimes I forget the internet is filled with younger ppl. 2009 was a perfect time for cgi to look like that.
