When Hollywood discovers new-fangled ways of making the impossible happen, it can make for a truly magical cinematic moment. Like in E.T., or Jurassic Park, or Avatar. But those effects don’t always look as great as we’d hope they would. Sometimes, they look downright fake because, well, they’re just not “there” yet. Like the dead-eyed video game version of Dwayne Johnson in The Scorpion King. Look at this thing.
Ugh. I mean, wow. How do you do that to The Rock, one of the most sparkling and charismatic personalities of all-time? But while some of the movies featured in this compilation of terrible special effects might be excused by time (or maybe not, Jaws 3D), a lot of these have absolutely no excuse being so damn terrible. Except for us to sit back and mock them mercilessly. I mean, damn, Peter Jackson’s King Kong. Damn.
