The middle pic is the CGI model. Fuck me if that doesn't look totally real

Watch it again. It's fine. The voice is just too much for the face. Too 'robust' or forceful.
That's about mixing and matching in animation.

Yeah, even expecting it to be distracting there were a couple of seconds that it seemed off, but it really was super impressive.

It reminded me of watching a movie with the ADR slightly off. Krennic's lines seemed much more native

It reminded me of when Jon Snow was in the Call of Duty commercial.

Two of the people I saw this with had no idea it was CGI. They thought it was another actor with makeup.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
I don't know how anyone could think that looked natural. Super distracting for me.

It's clearly CGI but I don't think it was distracting. It looked the best it possibly could with current technology.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
The tail thing was funny the first time insofar as it was a nod to the audience; a joke in the spirit of the project. But, yeah, it always looked fucking stupid and terrible. And I hate it.E.H.

That's baller AF. Directing a Star Wars movie? Been a lifelong Star Wars fan? Fuck it, put yourself in.

If I was the director I would be a stormtrooper than successfully shoots something.
