I just watched the movie, very impressive i loved it, but the american air craft i think cosair's looked soooooo fake and cheap they could have done a better job on it.... apart from that the special effects were top class, loving the Saving Pvt. Ryan style tracers and body parts flying all over the place....... GREAT MOVE
sharethe worst part was the camera from the planes. from that point of view it looked like they were helicopters or something, shooting down the koreans nice and slowly.
sharethey could have done those couple of shots in slow-mo, didn't think the corsairs themselves were bad though. has been awhile since I've seen this though.
sharethe only bad cgi was when the plane craqshed into those soldiers near the end of the film. i thought the rest was very good. the cgi used for the battles (limbs bown off, explosions, etc) was great in my opinion and never took you out of the battle> fantastic film, 10/10
shareI agree with the last comment , except for the scene where the plane crashes on the bunker toward the end of the movie all the other war scenes were great. the gun shots , explosions even the long shorts of the city( i m not sure if the city was all a huge set or special effects) all looked very convincing. Overall the movie was just amazing . great drama great acting great action. May be the best war movie ever.
shareWell this movie didn't have the budget as many, though it was a huge film especially for South Korea, but expensive CGI is usually what you see in American films only (now we're starting to see some exceptions, and even The Host a few years later proved that a Korean flick could have great CGI, but then, that creature was the main effect they had to work on.)
The planes look fake but the shots aren't bad, the part where it looks like a "helicopter" (i.e. the plane view) I think was stylistically supposed to move that way, it wasn't literally supposed to be a POV. A lot of the CGI violence is subtle and better, and actually it's little details that are CGI-d. A lot of it is practical effects, or dummies put in place of actors, cut together by one frame before an explosion to give the appearance that a human actor just got blown to pieces. A lot of practical on-set stuff, that's what this movie was about as far as recreating the battles. CGI just helped aide it, like with the tracers, which is why a big obvious effect like the planes stands out.
