Yesterday's news that filmmaker director Gore Verbinski levelled some blame for today's VFX looking a little bland at the feet of Unreal Engine has caught fire. The director of Pirates of the Caribbean and Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die called it “the greatest slip backwards” for cinematic CGI.
Setting the record straight, and offering some balance, Pat Tubach, VFX Supervisor at Epic Games, said in a statement to us: "It’s inaccurate for anyone in the industry to claim that one tool is to blame for some erroneously perceived issues with the state of VFX and CGI."
