#31: What is the most technologically innovative movie?
Last week featured a discussion about first movies and our memories of them. It turns out most of us got the movie bug via Star Wars, and loved it. Kris called it, earning her first win, and with it the right to ask:
What is the most technologically innovative movie?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.Â
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?
Know someone who’d like to join as well? Let them know about us. The more fighters the better. Discounted rates are available for groups of four or more…perhaps sign up your family and friends as a gift.
Jurassic Park. Nobody had ever seen anything like it and even to this day its effects hold up. It ran a perfect balance between practical effects and CGI - with the T-Rex jeep scene, for example.
A few years ago the Corridor Crew VFX artists tried to improve upon that scene with modern techniques. They were forced to admit that thirty years later they really couldn't do much to noticably improve it other than lighting.
The Abyss. I haven't seen it in the last ten years or so, but it has impressed me every time I've watched it.
