Were you impressed with the visual effects (Mysterio) from Spiderman Far From Home during the last half? *Spoilers*

It was pretty astounding. There are moments where Spidey himself looks pretty CG, but overall it's such a wild, inventive sequence
Having not seen the film myself, my favourite takeaway from watching that is the revelation that Mysterio, canonically, is just wearing a regular mocap suit like the actors on-set, and that his orb mask is actually all just equipment to do live performance tracking for his illusions. That is hilarious, and awesome.
As a follow-up to my previous gif, I wanted to say that not only was a very impressed with the visual effects, but I loved the way it was conceptualised and directed. It managed to finely balance being comprehensible yet confusing and unsettling, making both Peter and the audience question what they were seeing whilst also interweaving call-backs to old comic Mysterio history. I loved it.
Imagine something like Baby Driver or Ocean's 11 with Quentin and his shitty team confounding and swindling other shittier people in order to get the funds for all their tech.
Effective from a story/character perspective, thematically very in line with classic depictions of Mysterio, and very visually interesting and stylish.
It's a shame it was somewhat below the photorealistic bar, for me at least. It was super obviously intangible and made of CGI.
It still works, but I could imagine a better version of this scene that felt more believable in the moment. Still a great scene.

Agreed. Didn't care for the film overall, but this scene was great.
What if I told you Tom Holland doesn't exist and is actually a CG simulation?
Seeing how the nightmare sequence is supposed to be generated by computers/drones in the universe, it actually makes sense to me that there might be imperfections in the illusion.
This sounds a lot like when people rationalize the poor CGI effects for Clu in Tron Legacy. :P
I thought it was incredible...was it absolutely photoreal? not all of it but what a tricky sequence to pull off visually. super well done overall
Hell yeah. Really played in well with the themes of the movie of very showy/performative special effects vs more subtle stuff. All the stylized dream stuff looked like CG but I was completely blown away when I found out that all the "IRL" Night Monkey sequences were 100% CG. I couldn't tell in the theater.
Agreed.
Honestly yeah this is supposed to be in-film CGI so idk if I would expect it to be photo realistic? But I also don't know if that was an actual creative decision that was made.
The problem is believing how much of it it's supposed to be a bunch of drones. Honestly it need a lot of suspension of disbelieve because the moment they reveal it's all drones and projections the kind of hits Peter is taking and also some things the water and lava monster do are like, how are these drones supposed to be doing that exactly?
An absolutely incredible interpretation of the comic panels. A lot of the sequences were pulled from panels of the comics directly which was a fun easter egg but even without knowing that, it was one of the more imaginative scenes in the MCU.
Whenever people call the CG in marvel movies I can't help but laugh because 99.9% of the shots that are CG/have vfx aren't even discernible.Hell yeah.
