Hmm, Pirates was directed by Joone.
I’m guessing they meant to write Pirates of the Caribbean
They could have used Unreal Engine in that movie, their special effects wasn’t the best. I mean, I’ve been told. By a friend.
Davy Jones is often cited as an exemplary CGI fx, and it still holds up to this day.
The problem with most modern movies is they don’t give the artists the time to do good work. Verbinski is blaming the wrong thing here. It’s not the rendering engine that’s the issue (mandatories put it to good use with their real time stage screens), it’s directors wanting magic, but on a shoestring budget, while also wasting that cg budget on fixing stuff they did poorly during the initial shoot.
Damn, I might have to check it out then. For research…
To be clear they were not talking about the porn.
But, as porn movies go it was very well-made, maybe worth a watch but not for the CGI.
