Plenty of movies have thrilling special effects that remind audiences of the power of CGI, particularly when it comes to entirely computer-generated characters. Ever since the dawn of the earliest CGI movies, the medium has opened up countless thrilling worlds for movie-going audiences, populating them with unbelievable CGI creatures.
What makes Davy Jones so impressive is they way he's constantly soaked by the salty spray of the sea, reflecting his internment aboard the Flying Dutchman. Beads of water cling to his slimy face, full of writhing tentacles that each seem to have a mind of their own. Not only is his fantastical design somehow strikingly photorealistic, but it makes a brilliant canvas for Bill Nighy's genius performance to paint itself on.
Caesar in particular is an utter triumph of CGI, emoting wordlessly with his human-adjacent features. 6 King Kong The Monsterverse Close As great as Andy Serkis' Caesar is, it could be argued that, these days, King Kong is the superior simian leading man in a major motion picture franchise. Granted, in his Monsterverse debut in Kong: Skull Island, the gargantuan great ape is more of a force of nature than a character, with the terrified human boots on the ground being the primary perspective of the film.
The film balances a fine line between cartoonish and realistic for Pikachu's model, leaving him expressive but still believable as a living, breathing animal. Decisions like making his red cheeks a simple coloration of his fur pattern or turning his black dots of eyes into dark brown reflective irises work phenomenally, and balance out the more unrealistic elements of his design, such as his thunderbolt-shaped tale.
