Saw it last night, was not overly impressed (the editor needs to be bitch-slapped for such a bad hack job) Anyway, the CG landscapes looked a lot like Worldbuilder and quite frankly, were pretty cheap looking for a movie that cost that much. There was a CG waterfall in particular that looked totally fake. Even worse was the CG model of the Scorpion King in the big final fight scene. Really bad texture mapping...reminded me of the CG character from The Lawnmower Man. Might have been impressive 5 or 6 years ago, but not now. All in all The Mummy Returns has to be seen as a giant step backwards for integrating CG into mainstream movies. Of course, this is all just my opinion ;) -SMT
I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
