Which ILM special effects were better?(Just for 2001 films)

ILM has to win an Oscar this year.

A.I.
Pearl Harbor
Planet of the Apes
Mummy Returns (I hope they don't win for that)

 

JP3's effects were great. One of the few scenes I had though was crappy in the theatre actually turned out to be an animatronic, not cgi, so i was actually quite impressed.

 

ILM's work on TPM, JP3, and "A.I." has effectively blurred the line between animatronics and CGI. I'm anticipating seeing some actual FX shots for Episode II.

I know Planet OF The Apes and JP3 are not on here cause when I made this poll I based it on movies I had seen by then.
Bothe movies ahd unbelieveable special effects, i would be shocked to see ILM not recieve an award

 

Well, the Academy screwed over TPM by giving all the FX Oscars to "The Matrix", a decision which left many computer animation students I know scratching their heads. "The Matrix" had good FX, but nothing new. It simply relied on visually interesting but relatively easy gimmicks like morphing and bullet time, which were perfected on other films. It's a shame TPM got nothing for all its CGI creatures, vehicles, and environments. It's almost like the Hollywood establishment was out to punish Lucas or something (TPM not even receiving nominations for production, set, and costume design was another insult).

Still, it's going to be pretty hard not to give the Oscar to ILM this year. The question is, will ILM get all the nominations, and which ILM films will be included or excluded?

Fettism of the Day: "In director Tim Burton's 're-imagining' of 'Star Wars', the films would be set in the far-flung future and Darth Vader would be played by Michael Keaton."

 

Dubya_Fett: I blame that on the fact TPM was generally poorly recieved.

If it had been a great movie, it would've won some oscars, especailly Effects.

I do think it's unfair though, since it clearly did deserve an Oscar for effects.

 

Once again, I wish I could change my vote. ILM's work for A.I was amazing, much more impressive than the FX in The Mummy Returns, Jurassic Park III and Planet of the Apes.
