Really authentic-looking and seamless, though I assume they used traditional make-up, costumes, or puppetry in some of the close-ups. It was also really refreshing to see it set somewhere like Johannesburg instead of having an alien ship hover over New York or Los Angeles.DaveinHackensackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313169814904229272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126131564610858851.post-13230531117372297152009-09-08T09:17:54.234-04:002009-09-08T09:17:54.234-04:00If D9 was any indication, a Peter Jackson fueled &...If D9 was any indication, a Peter Jackson fueled 'Halo' movie would be quite an event. I noticed they probably used the CGI they intended for Halo on this film, which explains how it could have such a low production cost. Creative use of scraps. With D9's success, hopefully the cock-blocking corporate interests tussling over IP rights will get the impetus to get their differences resolved and move forward on the movie.JKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126131564610858851.post-26706049403228943622009-09-08T07:03:40.233-04:002009-09-08T07:03:40.233-04:00It 'alienated' me.It 'alienated' me.Roger Ebertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126131564610858851.post-85351260547998843652009-09-06T20:48:50.991-04:002009-09-06T20:48:50.991-04:00True.
