Movies with BAD CGI effects

I feel like I have continuously focused on the more generic, and obvious aspects of art but what just occurred to me was that there is so much more. Why have I not been talking about films or radio or music? Aren't those all part of the term 'art.' My point being that I feel as if I have delved into the inescapable route of looking at something in one perspective.
I know and this new perspective of mine is just making you go all:


Ha ha ha...funny right? This is my fatigue speaking. Nonetheless, I assume that a majority of the population has watched a movie, and one with special effects. Some movies have excellent CGI whereas others make you want to slowly walk out of the room whilst slowly shaking your head. Movies are movies, we pay ridiculous amounts of money for them (like the other day I went with a friend to a movie at Westfield and we wanted to sit in the VIP seats. Well, we ended up spending £35 on the chairs.) So isn't it fair enough to say that we expect to be intrigued, impressed, emotionally touched by what we are paying to see. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. 



This little Youtube clip by WatchMojo.com's channel displays in a consecutive sequence the worst CGI used in movies. Surprisingly (or I was surprised) even high budget movies, screen pictures that we always assume to have the best of everything (the best actors, the best scenery, the best camera shots/directing) can have the most dire and diabolical movie effects. 

But there is a reason why some movies may have cheap looking effects:
THE MONEY :)))


What does CGI cost?

Some companies charge $5,000 per second for their work on a movie etc. This is why cartoons, movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider Man 3 etc. are so expensive to make. These films run into the $100,000,000+ range in their budgets! So it really is no wonder why some films simply can't afford the full cost of good movie effects.

Sadly it is an expensive world we are living in, and mostly everything today that is good quality, worth seeing, or worth our time is the most expensive thing. 

Time is Money and Money gives Results.
