A Plea on Behalf of Practical Effects: This film is thirty years old, and most of it looks like it could be made today. It features prosthetics, model builds, puppetry, matte painting, and all kinds of makeup effects. And they ALL hold up. The only places that look even slightly dated are anything approaching CGI, which was mostly likely just blue screen at the time.
Technology will always move at a fast pace, and CGI in movies from just five years ago has already started to look laughable. Sure, maybe it’s a little cheaper and a little faster. But if studios would go back to investing in the artists that make effects in movies like Total Recall, there would be so many more things standing the tests of time.
I understand your views/thoughts on the whole CGI thing, let’s face it…there are movies and tv shows that have used some OR a lot of really awful/bad CGI effects (especially during the 90ies and early 2000’s). When Practical and CGI are used together and successfully? It works 100%.
Funny thing about people who are anti-CGI (which I am not saying you are here) and for example those who complained that Director George Lucas ruined Star Wars with the Prequels and “over use of CGI”. More Practical Effects were used in those movies than a lot of people realize (especially those whiners who hate all things George Lucas but saw all 9 movies in the theaters…LOL) and blended the Practical Effects with CGI.
