It was 1994/95 when they did those CGI shots, CGI was in its infancy, we just had T2 and Jurassic Park. PR had a tiny fraction of their budget. As bad as it looks in 2024, in 1995 when the movie came out Power Rangers was def ambitious and I think the team who worked on it deserves some eh, flowers as they say.
@@BehindThePowerVFXeven as a kid I always thought the suits and sets from the movie mixed with the effects from the show would have made this perfect! Those effects were just iconic to the series
Eh. As a VFX artist working on the show, I was disappointed at the time that the movie wasn’t any better than what we were doing. And the teleports were even worse than what we did for the show. The triceratops skeleton puppet was outstanding. There was more CGI than just T2 and Jurassic Park, those were just the biggest and best.
But at the same time, they were also able to produce Babylon 5 on a television budget with, at the time, equivalently better graphics on a television show's budget. As such, at the very least, they should have had the Megazord actually looking like the Megazord.
I think it was the biggest mistake in the 95 MMPR movie to go full CGI when it clearly wasn't up to snuff. Specially when the full Ninja Megazord was formed and it fought Ivan Ooze in the mech body, those had human proportions, it would have worked to do as suits as always
And that new movie... WHAT sense does it make to make the megazord look like a guy in TIGHTS?! Just go full-anime mecha with CGI, do an awesome dynamic design.
I was seven in '95 when I saw this movie in the theater and I loved it as did everyone I knew. I have the VHS, the DVD, the blu-ray, and just waiting for Shout Factory to get with Sony to go ahead and upgrade to 4K UHD blu-ray for the 30th anniversary in 2025. Needs to come with a UHD digital copy code too. Did I mention I still love this movie? One of my top 5 movies from my childhood.
That thing you brought up about the Megazord being able to take the form based on what's the most mightiest being on the planet? I literally did not think of that till now. And now that you mentioned it, I think it would've made sense for the sequels, had they made them. Like the zords and Megazord are so versatile and can adapt to any opponent they're up against and makes them kind of like a predator that's trying to be the apex predator no matter what.
I watched this movie 6 times in theaters as a kid, so I'm biased towards loving it. But yes, a lot of the zord CGI was rough, especially now. Still incredibly fun! Great job reflecting on the fantastic react job from Corridor Crew with your own input.
As a kid the CGI was so odd looking... although it would've been tolerable... had the megazord not look so oddly clunky. In retrospect kinda wish they did it like Robot Jox and just gone with stop motion animation as CGI just wasn't really still quite ready. Like, it's quite evident that a lot of studios were still in the process of figuring it out.
I still hate that power rangers 2017 never gave us a megazord transformation/combination sequence. that has, & will forever be, my main issue with the film
I wish they had still used suits for the Megazord in the 1995 film It's funny that the hand just clips thru the Ape, but you see compartments open up for the Frog, Wolf, and Bear to hide the extra parts lol 7:47 they're surprised it looks so good compared to the rest of the zord footage 12:23 is that really the case, or just fan theory?
In a quick throwaway line earlier in the movie Alpha makes a mention that the zords take the form of the most powerful creatures on earth. Fan theory rooted in canon lore? I gotta find an interview or something about this
11:31 Hard agree though! Goldar's one of my favorite characters from the show so I was very disappointed that in the movie he's not really a character at all. Still had a fun time with it and was sad when it bombed, though.
The MMPR movie was what made me stop watching Power Rangers as a kid. Even as an 11 year old, I thought the zord battle looked so bad. I was so excited see what the new zords would be, and then they looked terrible.
I saw the MMPR:The Movie in theaters when it released in '95. Even at the age of 14, I had three major critiques of the movie. The first was the order of the morphing sequence was different from the TV show. The second was the cheap CGI of the zords (money would have been better spent having TOEI film the zords for them since they would have still had all of the suits and miniatures at that time). Third was the story wasn't cannon with the TV show. Lets be honest, the movie version of how they acquired their ninja powers was waaaaay better than what we got in the TV show (no offense to Ninjor). If I owned the PR franchise, I would make a special edition of the '95 movie with the zords redone. The 2017 movie was a disaster, particularly the 3rd act when they FINALLY morph (poorly scripted scene in my opinion). The zords looked OK except why does the Mastodon and the Triceratops have extra legs? The Triceratops running backwards I didn't find funny but cringe (ruined the build up and payoff of that scene). And lastly the megazord was poorly designed. The zords didn't form together the same way as the original and it looked so generic. Nothing about it made it stand apart as it's own work of art. It didn't have to look exactly like the original, but come on, they could have put more effort into it than they did. An we didn't even get to see the zords join together at all. They fall into a smoking hole and the megazord emerges from the smoke. Getting to see the rangers call out their power's names when morphing and the zords forming the megazord are two of the biggest peak moments apart from winning the battle of any Power Rangers episode. Even the '95 movie understood that much. All that money and they dropped the ball.
The 2017 one had potential. I liked the actors and ive always thought zordon had a secret agenda. Lol😅 But it just it felt like they drained all the colour and fun out of it. It was far too gritty. Power rangers needs a little goofyness and primary colours people.
For real, the Rita having the green power coin the whole time was cool, ZEO crystal inclusion was cool, zordon style was cool BUT no fun morphin sequence?
Between the movie and the tv show introducing the Ninja Megazord. I like the Ninjor story better plus a guy in a costume looks better then the terrible CGI Megazord. I was never a fan of Ivan Ooze still a decent movie and still better then the Turbo Rangers movie.
2 minutes in and i don't see any purpose of this video :3 that's just ripping of their video and slap your head on it Can I unsubscribe a channel that I haven't subscribed?
All these overly done “realistic” cgi movies. Transformers, pacific rim, Avatar…. I cannot fallow that stuff. I space out through all of those. At least with the old power rangers their CGI was a little more cartoony, that was easier to fallow. Especially since there was substance in the plot. All the transformer movies were too much of a spectacle, and not enough story. To hell with all that Micheal Bay crap.
As much as Corridor wants to claim to be animators, they're not. Love their channel, but the only use motion capture and a.i.. They have no real sense of what real hand animation looks like. Even when they mentioned how Disney would use video references in the day, they still refused to accept the idea it roll was hand animated. They ignored that the zords moving was not referenced because they couldn't reference robots animals moving like that. Nor did they really reference animal movements at all for the zords. But the moment they transform into bipeds and fight, it's clear references footage used. Motion capture was not a option back in 1995. They barely had 3D rendering basics down, let alone copying real movements digitally.
I'm sure you understand there's no pleasing everyone. I'm happy you can watch something, but still keep a critical eye on what you are seeing and hearing. That channel is very successful for a reason. Thank you for taking the time to comment on our channel as well!
Corridor is a great channel, but many times they come off as paid shills. With yesterday's episode is a great example of this. They completely ignored the main issues folks have with the Snow White trailer (her not being white (she's specifically called "Snow" because her skin is as white as snow) and how utterly ugly and dumb the dwarves are. And the fact they went with ugly CGI instead of hiring actual dwarves that need and want the parts. In addition, they completely ignored the insane remarks and actions the Snow White actress made of the last year and focused on one that happens to be Israeli. All that aside, they claimed the dwarves looked good when they clearly don't. The entire episode was them kissing Disney's @ss. Which they do a LOT on their channel.
Well they sit there and react to a clip or movie from visual standpoint regarding any political points or other agendas. They may talk about it a little but they are in no position to pass judgement on such topics in the show. Also about the dwarves, they may not look like real humans but they aren't bad from visual standpoint and they mention that it'll be a lot easier to use cgi snow white and make everything look cartoony at this point. And also this is just a trailer you can't really say cgi is bad until you see finished product.
@faizanbaber Movie trailers are designed and meant to represent the final film. Some parts may be missing or out of order to protect the plot, this trailer did not do that. Nor did it need to. In no sense of the word is using CGI characters over real humans "easier" in the context of a film with reshoots. It takes an awful lot more money and time to create, animate, and place cgi characters into a irl environment. And not a single critical soul ever said the dwarves had to look as goofy as their animation counterparts. Folks were asking for dwarves instead of new "magical creatures." And they were asking for real dwarves to play the parts. The cgi dwarves in this film are indeed ugly. The original animation's designs of them were never meant to be represented in a "realistic" manner. Just as the hobbit in the animated "The Hobbit" film was never meant to be depicted in a "realistic" manner. Where The Hobbit's live-action succeeds is using REAL actors. Even though they're wearing makeup and costumes, being REAL PEOPLE greatly aids in the films' immersion. With the "real-life" Snow White film, it's real people mixed with unrealistic looking chi characters. There no chance of there ever being any type of 'immersion' in it. The dwarves simply stick out too much. And to add to that, Disney has once again completely misrepresented the female character. Which they have a VERY BAD habit of doing in these so-called "live-action" films. With "Peter and Wendy" being the latest example. The only really successful "live-action" adaption was The Jungle Book.

Yea ill never understand why they took that direction.

Not a bad choice!! Was just upset I didn't get to work on it

🤣😂😂😂 are they?
In the 95 movie the Ninja Megazord use the Shogun Megazord sword !!!
Hahaha mix and match
And that new movie... WHAT sense does it make to make the megazord look like a guy in TIGHTS?! Just go full-anime mecha with CGI, do an awesome dynamic design.
They keep messing up the the zord fights
