Long Takes In the Movies, Antidote To CGI?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can-i-cut-now dept.

brumgrunt submitted a Den of Geek story about long takes in movies. The premise is that CGI has made so many things possible that it all rings sterile now. Long shots are a better way to be flashy. Personally I absolutely love long takes, and I always elbow my wife excitedly when they happen. She probably hates them now! Some of the examples cited here are probably unfamiliar but maybe that'll just give you an excuse to queue them on Netflix.

    I made it five minutes through this movie before the crazy CGI action started making my head hurt and I turned it off.

    WAY too much.
