How did you liked the CG in the (extended look) video?

I think it looks great. They did a great job with it.

Well to be honest the CG on Godzilla looks noticeable, but its not bad at all.  The Mutos CG looks fantastic though, totally unnoticeable.

I thought it looked excellent. I know some people thought the water looked a little meh but IMO cgi isn't to the point where it's able to look very real, so I thought it looked fine (especially when it's interacting with the hawaii landscape). A lot of the enviornment shots looked so real that it was almost scary lol

not as good as Pacific Rim, but way better than Peter Jackson´s King Kong or James Cameron's Avatar, so it's good enough for me.

Exactly, DragonLord Tevin, Tarrelzilla, and King_Of_Zombies.

Well glad to hear this hope youre all honest. lol

My only complaint about the movie is that the CG looks dated. I was hoping they'd look at least as good as the Pacific Rim creatures and jaegers, if not better.

@Duratok

Movies aren't meant to be watched on Youtube or phones and whatever.

I personally think it looks quite nice. Looks very great.

Duratok I hoped for it to look better lol this is 2014 for crying sakes and this CG looks like 5 or 4 years ago.

The CG more or less looks like what I expected. 

It's pretty good, but definitely not top of the line. 

It's hard to get top of the line effects on a bugdet of $160 million, especially when significant portions of that budget has to go towards expenses that other popcorn blockbusters just don't have....like purchashing the rights to an international icon from another studio. 

Pacific Rim had a bigger budget than Godzilla, and less of that money had to spent on copyrights and award winning cast members, so of course the CG is going to be better than Godzilla's. And even Pacific Rim's budget was less than $200 million iirc. $200 mil + seems to be the going benchmark nowadays if you want have to have cutting edge effects.

For $160 mil, I'd say the Godzilla effects are quite the bargain. Weaker than Pacific Rim's sure, but I expected that.

That being said, 'weaker' does not equal bad. I thought overall, the effects look very good, I'm satisfied with what I've seen, and I can't wait to see it on the big screen.

Godzillasaurus Rex actually i dont think CG looks any different on a bigger screen, only the quality.....

@Madison,

That is very true.

"Pacific Rim had a bigger budget than Godzilla, and less of that money had to spent on copyrights and award winning cast members, so of course the CG is going to be better than Godzilla's."

Were you talking about pacific rim having to get award winning cast members or Godzilla?? Cuz pacific rim?? With award winning cast members??? No way haha just no way

@Godzillasaurus,

The way I see it, if it's noticably CGI on a small screen like a mobile phone, laptop, or PC, then those problems will only become glaringly obvious when shown on a gigantic screen.

@Madison,

You've got a point there. I knew that Pacific Rim had a bigger budget, but I didn't take into account the cost of obtaining the copyrights.

@Madison,

That is very true.

@Madison,

That is very true.

definently alot better than mine of course it would be because they are pro's

@DRAGONLORDTEVIN

Sorry about the confusion. 

Yeah I meant to say that Godzilla had to spend more money on their cast. 

Pacific Rim's cast was pretty cheap (yet surprisingly cost effective)

In my opinion nothing can beat the first tail poster's effects. I liked the last shot, as well as the MUTOs.

The power plant scene, some of the Godzilla scene and Tsunami scene still look poor, but other scenes look friggin epic!!!! AWESOME

^ I'm just guessing here, but I think the old cameras are going to be used in the flashback when they try nuking Godzilla.

I'm kind of surprised at how many people think it wasn't that good lol I don't think it's fair to compare it to PR because the whole selling point of that film was the visual effects. Godzilla on the other hand is focusing a lot more on story as well as spectacle. Even then though I thought most of the cgi moments were on par with PR, and some were better.

I just can't wait to see this movie in theater quality instead of 1080p, it's going to look awesome.

I thought the CGI had definitely improved. The shot of the fin breaking through the train track has certainly been touched up.

I think the CG goes from passable to poor. Some of the city destruction scenes look pretty bad, but then again, I didn't expect the greatest qualiity CG from the film.

That sounds really negative but its not.

So yeah I was a bit more impressed with PR's CG, but that is because the director knew he was making a bullshit movie and didn't try to hide behind realism for it.

Anytime you try to copy realism, its going to be harder to pull off a plausible CG.

Its passable at best and that is all I'm going to say about it. Doesn't mean I'm annoyed or disappointed or wont like the movie-- considering I'd sit through this film if it were claymation or suitmation. 

It's pretty good. I've seen better and worse.

You guys who say the chi sucks can shut up. The movie haven't come out yet, and you already judge the movie. People who compare godzilla to Pacific rim can stop to. Pacific rim was completely different then godzilla. Pacific rim was more like a comic book style with neon lights and colorful fights. Godzilla is dark and brutal compared to flashy and colorfull. In my opinion godzilla blows Pacific rim out of the water with graphics and chi because of how realistic godzilla looks and the destuction. Pacific rim is not even close to how godzilla portrays destuction and chaos! Not even close! The monsters in Pacific rim look like bad in my opinion
