More 'Oppenheimer'-esque explosions, please.
The Big Picture 2023 has been an interesting year for movies. What was once Hollywood's easy go to for major box office returns in the form of sequels, nostalgia, and superheroes has not worked this year. Films like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Fast X, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Flash, and The Meg 2 were all quickly disappearing duds. Instead, this has been the summer of Barbenheimer, with Barbie and Oppenheimer dominating cinemas. It's been refreshing to see.
Then there were the horror and monster movies of the time. John Carpenter's version of The Thing in 1982 is a great movie, but what turned it into an instant classic were Rob Bottin's practical effects. The wild alien creations he built are still to this day jaw-dropping to behold. We can't wrap our heads around how they did it and made it look so real. Or look at Joe Dante's Gremlins in 1984. Those little green demons were scary because they were really there on set.
Hollywood went absolutely crazy with de-aging and recreating actors from the dead through CGI. Marvel and Star Wars films were the worst offenders, but even Harrison Ford couldn't escape the de-aging fad in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. While the process has gotten better, it's as if we do it now simply because we can.
