The Grey (2011)
1/10
CGI Gone Wrong
21 March 2012
This was your standard implausible action adventure...nothing great, but not bad either UNTIL the closeups of the wolves came out. They were clearly CGI. You can get away with this in LOTR or other fantasy films, but this is a 'reaistic' action adventure complete with jittery hand-held and gritty characters. Then the wolves appear and they are like something out of a new version of little red riding hood. Closeups of their faces show highly intelligent, cunning eyes and they just looked fake. This is an example of a gross misuse of CGI...when the entire rest of the film is shot to look realistic you can't have a 'realistic' creature that does not look real. I turned the movie off in disgust as soon as they came out. Can I get a refund for that hour of my life wasted with this junk?
