Back when the main trailer was released Ive read a couple comments saying that the CG looked poor.

but on the  (Extended Look) video I only read 2 comments, saying that the looks poor.

What did you guys think of the CG this time? Good , Bad?

I think it looks improoved.

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.

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.

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,

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.

I happen to think the CGI isn't the point to the film. We should go in enjoying the movie's story and presentation. There are many movies that we know and love which have F/X that aren't necessarily the best - look at the older Godzilla films! Enjoy Godzilla for what it is! Don't trouble yourself too much over the CGI. This girl's going for the FUN! :)

Sorry about the confusion. 

Yeah I meant to say that Godzilla had to spend more money on their cast. 

Pacific Rim's cast was pretty cheap (yet surprisingly cost effective)
