Top 10 Movies with Best CGI and VFX
1. Avatar 2009
One of the first things that come into the mind when talking about groundbreaking CGI and VFX would be Avatar. Directed by James Cameron, the movie took the entire world by storm with its visuals and innovative use of 3D technology. One of the achievements that can also be attributed to CGI in this movie is the CGI itself, as it noticeably improved the appearance and the movements of the actors in the motion-capture suits. Pandora, the alien world in which the story takes place, with the bioluminescent forests and floating mountains, is nothing short of amazing and the result of CGI. The characters themselves, the Na’vi, are completely CGI, a truly innovative change. However, the most impressive aspect is the successful combination of live-action and CGI. Though the Na’vi themselves are CGI, the actors that play them are real and are combined by CGI with the characters through computer animation. All this helped to create a fantastic but wholly believable world, and even in just the design of two identical characters, still having them look like real and entirely different people.
2. Jurassic Park (1993)
If you love Jurassic Park, and it's hard to see who doesn't, the landmark in visual fx film. With Steven Spielberg at the helm, this movie gave us a glimpse of dinosaurs we had never witnessed beforehand. This marriage of animatronics and CGI resulted in some incredibly realistic, nightmare-inducing creatures that have somehow held up over the years. That’s the groundbreaking shot of the very first scene where we saw a T-Rex, it still is one of best moments in cinema with its blend practical effects and CGI. Then came Jurassic Park, which proved that computer-generated visual effects could be used to create realistic and immersive experiences on the big screen — a trend in blockbuster filmmaking that has continued right up until this day.
3. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Even though it's never going to be one of my personal favourites that spot will always belong to the glorious The Two Towers, Peter Jackson simply did what all was needed with Return Of The King. Interestingly, this movie used a lot of CGI magic to make the battle scenes along with digital characters like Gollum. Specifically, the way Weta digital worked on Gollum was a game changer as it marked one of the first times motion capture technology had been used to animate such a complicated character. It was a showcase for CGI and using it to render thousands of digital soldiers in epic battle scenes drove home the scale that effort could achieve. The Batmobile chase in this sequel directed by Joel Schumacher may seem over-the-top, but its mix of practical effects and digital artistry rendered an extremely convincing illusion which scored the film several Academy Awards — including one for Best Visual Effects.
4. Inception (2010)
Inception which is directed by Christopher Nolan completely nails the art of combining practical effects with CGI, resulting in some truly mind-bending visuals. The way the film dove into dreams within dreams called for a very distinctive visual formula, and it truly was something else. A perfect example of CGI used to make something that is not on this world feel right at home within the film's reality, Paris folding onto itself. While a large portion of the movie was grounded with practical effects, pushing viewers to rethink their defeined sense of reality. With its creative application of VFX, Inception turned out to be a breakthrough film in science fiction.
5. Interstellar (2014)
Interstellar — Directed by Christopher Nolan Another classic from the great director is living to its hype, taking us into space and through time itself with a lot of visual effects & CGI rendering that has unquestionably contributed in creating such magnificent visuals for this film. The artists involved in creating the wormhole, the black hole Gargantua and several planets developed by a different artist created as much physical effects models followed of CG assets. What distinguished Interstellar from similar films was the dedication it showed to representing science visually and grounding itself in basic physics; where writers Christopher Nolan, (who also directed) Nathan Crowley and their visual effects team went as far using a black hole that closely followed physicist Kip Thorne's exact solutions. The end result was a film that both looked amazing and felt realistically gritty, fantasy elements intact.
6. The Matrix (1999)
The first film that changed the face of VFX and CGI was The Matrix. The Wachowskis' introduction of "bullet time-motion sequences,” in which the action momentarily slows down and the camera tracks around a pivotal shot became an iconic visual reference repeated now by any number of films. As for the portrayal of virtual reality in this film, VFX made it possible through a heavier dependence on CGI rendered within live-action footage. Its visual effects were groundbreaking for the time, expanding what digital technology was then capable of doing with film. It was a seminal movie in all aspects of filmmaking, and continues to influence filmmakers today Entertainment with its striking visual style.
7. Gravity (2013)
Gravity (2013) — Alfonso CuarónAlfonso Cuarón helmed Gravity, a film that tested the limits of what CGI/VFX could do with regards to rendering realistic environments. Taking place almost entirely in space, the film had to create a zero-gravity environment that was achieved with a mix of practical effects and CGI. To achieve this they employed some very neat special effects tricks to create an immersive, visually-striking film that made us feel them floating in space. Majestic proportions, like the very Earth seen from space as gorgeous landscape gave a reality of how small and all alone our characters were in this film. The visual effects of Gravity were so real that they just disappear into the story, melting together with its backbone.
8. Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Blade Runner 2049 (Denis Villeneuve, 2017)The CGI and the VFX in this movie evoke a bleek future with sweeping shots that are simultaneously terrifying and stunning. Through its color palette, lighting and digital VFX, it builds a lived-in world where X09 rings true in the realm of scifi. A particularly poignant use of visual effects in this respect is the character Joi (Ana de Armas), a holographic companion. Using a blend of practical and CGI effects the film turned out nothing short of visually outstanding, not only nodding at its predecessor Blade Runner but going above and beyond what these talented visual artists could complete with current tech.
9. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
One of his best uses for computer effects happened to be in Mad Max: Fury Road, a movie that is full practical shots and visual creativity. The other reason it all looks real, raw and as if Verhoeven didn't even want to try for syncing kinaesthetically destructive CG into expensive screen time- That's exactly what Miller fucking did except his modus went along so well with the title: Riiight! (since its easier on post-effects budget) A bit of CGI sucked in to enhance over a husk-carpeted setup location built just off-studio. The epic sandstorm sequence illustrated by CGI, along with the digitally enhanced vehicles and landscapes all came together to create a feeling of organized chaos. The VFX of Fury Road is proof positive that practical and CG can not only coexist, but when married effectively together, magical things happen.
10. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
