The Mummy Returns (CGI)


I watched The Mummy Returns last night, I would say it is a good classic movie with its pre-quels and sequels. It is comedic, has action and drama. Though all these genres may not be portrayed in the best way possible it is still very interesting, I say this because the funny parts felt forced and I felt the storyline could have been presented in a better way. 
Though what I really wanted to point out is the CGI generated Army Of Anubis. The image is shown below.
As you can see the CGI is not very realistic, the models have been created very well though since this movie was released in 2001, technology was not very advanced. Most scenes of the army were done with them being at a far distance that you couldn't make out their shapes which made it easier. When scenes like the image below were shown, you can tell by the skin texture that these creatures look more game like than movie realistic.
I am stating this just to point out how un-advanced CGI technology was but also when you watch the movie the movements of these creatures were very static and not animal like.

Overall a good movie, I'm just focusing more on the animation side of it.
