Wired has an article up about the Best Sci-Fi movie effects scenes of all time, which has some classics, from Godzilla to 2001: A Space Odyssey to Avatar. To be sure, though, they missed some of my favorites:
- Iron Man – specifically the scene when Tony puts the upgraded suit on for the first time and takes his first flight. The filmmakers managed to make it look, if not real, then at least realistic. Honorable mention to Tony’s holographic UI.
- The Abyss – Some great stuff here, including the liquid breathing apparatus, aliens made of water and mini-subs.
- TRON and TRON: Legacy – I’m surprised that no one voted up the original TRON in the original article, considering how amazing it was at the time. The new movie had some sweet scenes as well, including the light-cycle battle.
What else did they miss?
