Mars Needs Moms - Movie review by jonathan kim

ho ash was really good soloist secret this is an issue first for several years director producer robert zemeckis has been obsessed with performance capture technology which visually records the movements of an actor's body and face stars can map a cd character on top of it we've seen this an extremely well-liked with column in the lord of the rings trilogy and not be an avatar we refused and poorly isn't films by robert zemeckis by two thousand four supports press two thousand sevens bail wolf two dozen the nines a christmas carol and now in twenty eleven with mars needs moms in one hundred fifty million dollar adaptation of a picture book by bloom county creator berkeley breasted that very well may go down as one of the biggest flops of all time in the film an authoritarian matriarchal martian society is desperate to find rippling mom with good parenting skills they can use the program there are meeting any box that raises their young milo and nine-year-old performed by seth green but boyz by child actors and thirsty has such a mom though he bristles under authority even telling her in a moment of anger that he was he never had a mall but when miles which is granted in his mom is kidnapped by martians milo goes to mars to bring it back now i'll always always being that it is a necklace for directing back to the future one of the greatest movies ever but the way he uses performance capture is just ridiculous sees a necklace is it a try to create photo realistic human characters and you know what it does not work it has never worked in the results and characters with dead eyes and masks like faces c humans get around ninety percent of the information about other humans feelings and emotions through nonverbal communication and he's revolted taken probably hundreds of nonverbal cues for persons facing eyes he was also developed the important ability to recognize what isn't isn't a real human sony cds cd characters that look human but lack for facial expressiveness an alarm sounds in our brains to reject the mistake which is what audiences have been doing was annexes performance capture films but we see cartoon looking humans like an epic sir film our brains easily recognize that these are real people so they classify this fancy and just go along for the right we might some day have the technology to truly replicate the human face but were not there yet the other thing that saddam about has a mecca seizes performance capture thirty often uses it to create characters that looked just like the actors doing the performances what the hell is the point of that you whatever makes you detected but more really actual people want to see is the real actors and put them in c g environments which countless movies have done effectively or in the case of a movie like a christmas carol which takes place in the warning linda wanted to shoot in england or build sets especially since the necklaces method doesn't appear to save any money anyway that's just one of mars needs mom's major problems once on mars milo teams up with an irritating human named agreeable who grew up in mars trash dump and the sympathetic martian neend ki who's been inspired by a six d zero tv show to speak and hippie slang in spread love and flower power which is about as annoying as you can imagine the job earned dreadlocks dope email martians who live in the dump are similarly greeting to expand the story to feature length marc's moms is loaded with no easy pointless action was also a flaw of the polar express and once you order the film was nicely detailed and mostly feels like it's made of leftovers from wally avatar intron legacy so robert zemeckis throughout their please give it up stop wasting peoples time and money technology put up a good fight but reality one and that's not a bad thing you directed back to the future man you can come back to us but until then i'm getting marc's mom's a rating of two johnson came for what the ***
