So did the first one, and it was fantastic.Money grab, looks like shit.
Your Cinemark doesn't like money I guess.My local Cinemark is putting this in the XD theater over HTTYD2. I weep for the species.
Why is that shocking? The first one was fantastic and previews for the second looked good as well.Shockingly, this movie is getting really good reviews.
A very significant portion of the budget of 'normal' movies of the blockbuster is taken by digital special effects. A CGI movie is digital special effects from the first frame to the last. It takes a lot of artists and animators and a lot of time on render farms, which is also very costly.Clearly they don't draw themselves but there's little reason these movies should be costing as much as normal films. Seems like poor resource management.
