How did you liked the CG in the (extended look) video?
I think it looks great. They did a great job with it.

Well to be honest the CG on Godzilla looks noticeable, but its not bad at all. The Mutos CG looks fantastic though, totally unnoticeable.
I thought it looked excellent. I know some people thought the water looked a little meh but IMO cgi isn't to the point where it's able to look very real, so I thought it looked fine (especially when it's interacting with the hawaii landscape). A lot of the enviornment shots looked so real that it was almost scary lol
not as good as Pacific Rim, but way better than Peter Jackson´s King Kong or James Cameron's Avatar, so it's good enough for me.
Exactly, DragonLord Tevin, Tarrelzilla, and King_Of_Zombies.

My only complaint about the movie is that the CG looks dated. I was hoping they'd look at least as good as the Pacific Rim creatures and jaegers, if not better.

Movies aren't meant to be watched on Youtube or phones and whatever.
I personally think it looks quite nice. Looks very great.

Duratok I hoped for it to look better lol this is 2014 for crying sakes and this CG looks like 5 or 4 years ago.
The CG more or less looks like what I expected.
It's pretty good, but definitely not top of the line.
It's hard to get top of the line effects on a bugdet of $160 million, especially when significant portions of that budget has to go towards expenses that other popcorn blockbusters just don't have....like purchashing the rights to an international icon from another studio.
Pacific Rim had a bigger budget than Godzilla, and less of that money had to spent on copyrights and award winning cast members, so of course the CG is going to be better than Godzilla's. And even Pacific Rim's budget was less than $200 million iirc. $200 mil + seems to be the going benchmark nowadays if you want have to have cutting edge effects.
For $160 mil, I'd say the Godzilla effects are quite the bargain. Weaker than Pacific Rim's sure, but I expected that.
That being said, 'weaker' does not equal bad. I thought overall, the effects look very good, I'm satisfied with what I've seen, and I can't wait to see it on the big screen.
Godzillasaurus Rex actually i dont think CG looks any different on a bigger screen, only the quality.....

Were you talking about pacific rim having to get award winning cast members or Godzilla?? Cuz pacific rim?? With award winning cast members??? No way haha just no way
@Godzillasaurus,
The way I see it, if it's noticably CGI on a small screen like a mobile phone, laptop, or PC, then those problems will only become glaringly obvious when shown on a gigantic screen.
@Madison,
You've got a point there. I knew that Pacific Rim had a bigger budget, but I didn't take into account the cost of obtaining the copyrights.
