    Counter point - Actually good CGI in 1993:

    The entire moon is just CGI. Prove me wrong, go there and live stream from the moon to show you can really stand on it. I bet you won’t.

      I think you’re wrong.

      Unless the t-rex was running it was a giant physical model. Likely in this short zero to little cg was used. Hell I have the open matte version of the film where only digital shots are cropped, this one ain’t.

      Additional counterpoint: granddad worked on Apollo and if it was all fake, lots of real world shit I’ve personally experienced wouldn’t make sense. Production and Design awards, call backs during Apollo 13, the secrecy etc…

        Cool, since you have that version of the film I’m sure you’ll be willing to share it? I’ve seen 2 matte versions, but none like you’re describing.

        You don’t seem to understand what this sub is for. Since your uncle worked for Nintendo, I’m sure you know the moon landing took place a few years before OPs example of awful CGI from 1996. I argued that much better CGI existed in 1993. That’s still at least two years off from the moon landing.

        Everyone is making fun of people who claim it was faked. I’m glad your cousin was the King of Space. That’s cool. I missed it by 3 space votes in the last space election. I’m jealous.
