Only the beloved (and never-aging) Paul Rudd could win audiences over with this bring this goofy superhero. Truth be told, all of the “Ant-Man” movies are full of incredible special effects. Hey, when you have a super-hero who can change their size, what do you expect?
We can only imagine just how much green/blue screen was used to make this miniature superhero story worth watching! Who knew that a superhero inspired by ants would be so entertaining? While the third installment, “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” didn’t do so well critically or commercially, you still have to admire the CGI in that movie.
Snowpiercer
This dystopian tale is set on a train bolting around a snowy sphere carrying all that's left of humanity. Yeah, you read that right! When you have Chris Evans in the foreground, can you really go wrong?
We are really impressed with how the green screen was used to bring the troubled train to our screens. It looks hyper-realistic. However, here's hoping that we'll only see this train in the movies and not in the not-so-distant future! "Snowpiercer" has developed a bit of a cult following over the years. So much so that Netflix ended up making a spinoff series.
Alice in Wonderland
Again, we had to mention another scene from "Alice in Wonderland." Tim Burton's version of Tweedledee and Tweedledum, both played by Matt Lucas, definitely added an extra creepy element to the characters. While it was obvious that CGI and special effects had been involved throughout most of the film, many viewers thought these two characters were completely computer-made.
But alas, it was far more intricate than that. Lucas actually wore a special suit to make him look much taller and bigger overall; and of course, this made it much easier to simply add visual details afterward. Oh, and the dodo bird was an actual person too!
Game of Thrones
Here's a sneak peek behind the scenes of arguably the most heartbreaking scene of the entire series of HBO's "Game of Thrones." Maybe even topping the "Red Wedding" episode? No, we wouldn't go that far. Nobody wanted this Westerosi series to end when or how it did, but you get what you're given in life.
Talk about love being dead. Anyway, as you can see, the actors aren't actually in the demolished Kings Landing. Instead, they're on a set surrounded by a green screen. But still, Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke managed to act the hell out of that scene. Say what you want about that final season - there were some all-time moments, like this one.
Oz, the Great and Powerful
Critically-acclaimed director Sam Raimi has worked with the same visual effects master for all three of the "Spider-Man" movies, and he wasn't about to change when it came to filming "Oz, The Great, and Powerful." Visual effects supervisor, Scott Stokdyk said that this was the most challenging film he had ever worked on since every single frame of scenery had to be created from scratch!
With most of the scenes being done on a green screen backdrop, we're sure that James Franco had to pull out the artistic guns to make his expressions look as genuine as possible. There is nothing like that good ole' yellow brick road.
