Zemeckis lives in the Uncanny Valley of Repellent Simulacra.

Hopefully this will force Zemeckis to stop making those awful CG movies that only he wants to see. The man is completely out of touch with his audience.

It\’s about time Zemexkis got back out there and made a real movie again. His last watchable one was Cast Away.

Zemeckis\’ CG films not “animated” films. They’re special-effects driven live-action films without the live-action part. Animation studios don\’t use motion capture for a reason. If that\’s all they were going for, Pixar could have been using it for at least a decade. Animated films are animated by animators because motion capture just doesn\’t work. It looks horrible. His films are wedged directly inside the uncanny valley. His characters are too cartoonish to register as “real,” yet their movements are too “real” to register as cartoons. The things don\’t move like cartoons, but they don\’t look real either. No matter how good the story and characters might be, you just can\’t get over the visuals and how they just aren\’t right somehow.

it isn\’t the mocap – it\’s the character design.

Wow, the animation for \’Mars Needs Moms\’ is awful. Story aside I think the animation killed it. Either go with live action or something that looks like real animation – not some awkward hybrid of the two.

YES! About damn time!

Get back to making real movies Zemeckis! Please. No more of this hiring famous actors & then spending $200 million to make them look like rejects from a Final Fantasy cutscene!
