They already had this since the 80's.
>a guy in a shitty prosthetic suit
Not even close to the same
Has the same effect tho.
But it’s not the same as creating something from nothing. It was probably mind blowing and holds up better now, but at the time seeing CGI like Lawnmower Man would be insane
They thought it was coal
The entire theater turned 360 and started throwing coal at the screen
>started throwing coal at the screen
was the entire audience Santa Claus?

I showed the trailer for this to my coworker because I recommended him RRR and he said he couldn't make it more than 20 minutes in because the CGI was too bad and it was taking him out it. I remember people being so blown away by this CG that they were showing clips from it on the fricking news. When Jurassic Park dropped, everyone shit their pants they were so impressed, and then Toy Story was a phenomenon too. People are super jaded now.
Tbh I always just found the CGI in this movie to be scary and I think it holds up because it’s still scary in how strange it looks
I still don’t know what movie this is supposed to be.
The first lawnmower man
The Lawnmower Man
Flowers For Algernon but more cynical and with computers
It's a movie about virtual reality. No shit the CGI looks "fake". It's not meant to portray reality, it's portraying an environment that in the fiction of the movie is artificial and computer-generated. How can a person not get this?
It’s also taking place in a time when computers weren’t as good.
Yes but that's a nondiegetic reason rather than a diegetic one like the one in
3d effects used to be a special treat. i was excited to see them
yeah those mind's eye videos were dope
Why is this suddenly being forced as a meme now?
So Hollywood will think evil Cinemaphileazis love this movie, so they make a movie with a black moronic guy. 4D chess

Discuss Lawnmower man or get out
They have audience reactions to famous movie scenes like when Darth Vader reveals he’s Luke Skywalker’s father in the Empire Strikes Back so it had me wondering if anyone remembers audience reactions to this scene since it was so ahead of its time
I saw this in the theatre and it was impressive for the time. it hasn't aged well. I haven't either.

>The plot of Stephen King's 1975 short story "The Lawnmower Man" concerns Harold Parkette, who hires "Pastoral Greenery and Outdoor Services Inc." to cut his lawn. Parkette later spies on the serviceman, discovering his lawnmower mows the lawn by itself while he crawls after it, naked, eating the grass. The serviceman is actually a satyr who worships the Greek god Pan. When Parkette tries to call the police, the mower and its owner ritually kill him as a sacrifice to Pan.
Cocaine is a hellva drug.
"Shit-tier 'jak, pure dust, HWNBAG"
I wonder how many people actually saw this in theaters enough for a sequel to get made apparently
Movies didn't used to need to be mega blockbusters to be considered successful. There were much fewer entertainment options so more small movies got made by studios.
Sweet merciful christ Jenny Wright was so damn hot in this. Solid cyberpunk horror too
>The company that did special effects for this went on to make Red Dead Redemption
What a strange connection
This guy has a couple seconds cameo in beyond the mind's eye

When I saw this scene back in the day, the graphics looked as weak as they do today.
