Most convincing CG character (1 Viewer)

[Matt Pelham]

Not a tournament, but who (or what) do you think is the most convincing, real-looking completely CG character/monster/alien, etc. from a movie?

I would say:

Cave Troll - Fellowship of the Ring
Watto - Episode I
Yoda - Episode II
Mantis Bug - Starship Troopers
Fire Beetle - Starship Troopers

what else?

 

[Felipe S]

T-REX from Jurassic Park

 

[Brook K]

Mr. Potato Head

 

[Ricky Hustle]

The Scorpion King at the end of The Mummy Returns!
Kidding aside, I'd also go with the T-Rex.

 

[Terrell]

Probably the Kaminoans in Episode II and the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Yoda is pretty damn good as well.

 

[Jeff Pryor]

I say the clonetroopers in AOTC. Every shot of them, close up or far away, was a CGI character.

 

[Jan H]

I agree with the Dino's in Jurassic Park. Also, that Anakin Skywalker character in AOTC was incredibly realistic CGI!

 

[Terrell]

 

[Jeff Pryor]

Starship Troopers bugs.

 

[MichaelAW]

I can't believe I'm the first to say Jar-Jar Binks. You may hate him, but man, was he well rendered.

 

[Steve Christou]

I'll go with the bugs in Starship Troopers, fantastic CGI.
The T-Rex in Jurassic Parks 1-2-3 was excellent too, but I hated the new Spinosaurus dino in Jurassic 3, looked like something out of a Japanese Godzilla movie, even as CGI it looked fake.
The all CGI movie Dinosaur had superb photo realistic animation.
A special mention to gorgeous Aki from Final Fantasy, a perfectly rendered babe.

 

[Andy Olivera]

The Goliath during the last fifteen minutes of Virus.

 

[Terrell]

I say the clonetroopers in AOTC.

I agree. Forgot about those. I remember being surprised when I learned that all were CGI.

 

[Patrick McCart]

I'll have to agree with Jar Jar.

When I saw TPM in the theater, I thought it was someone in a rubber suit. The DVD makes him look a bit more CGI-like, but still pretty real.

I like how several shots of Jar Jar WERE indeed live-action...

Oh yeah...Moo Yu in Kung Pow: Enter The Fist is pretty convincing.

 

[John Thomas]

That one in Erin Brockovich...(ok, that was wrong)

 

[Rob Tomlin]

The Dino's in JP! Groundbreaking stuff that still holds up very well today.

 

[teapot2001]

Aki's hair

~T

 

[JonZ]

T Rex

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

Doctor Aki Ross.

 

[Nick Sievers]

I agree, the Anaconda in the ironically titled film Anaconda is the most believable CG i've seen.
