      I think the person you were responding to was more confused as to why you’d want to see it in the first place, not that you’d have paid to watch it.

        It kinda does.

        Watching something shit in your free time with no cost associated with it vs watching something shit in your free time that costs you ‘productive’ hours as well because it costs something.

        Equals more time lost because now its not just free time but free time + [productive hours x2]

        (its productive hours x2 because most people dont make enough money so that money spent still needs replacing to pay for better/more important things)

          How dare you watch a movie that didn’t have the internet decency consensus!

      The unfinished VFX version made a great drinking game… not sure what the game was but we enjoyed it thoroughly, 10/10 would drink to more jason mamoa

        The CGI in that movie is just awful. It would have probably genuinely been better if they had just stuck to practical effects and just lend into the cheesiness.

        Does a scene where one of the characters picks up a sword for the first time and honestly I’ve seen better quality Minecraft props on Etsy.

          Thoughts on the movie aside, the CGI was done really well. I’m curious what you think was so awful about it. It’s more likely you just don’t like the style, which is fine, but that doesn’t speak to the quality of the work. There’s some great breakdowns from Corridor Digital going over a lot of the behind the scenes/how it’s made.
