Impressive Special Effects (Sequences) in Lousy Movies

[Mach6]

When Judge Erich mentioned this Ambush Topic, these two immediately came to my mind.

Matrix Revolutions: In between all the metaphysical mumbo jumbo double talk, Neo’s final speech to a dying Trinity taking forever, & the lame ending, the battle inside the Dock was epic. The giant drill machines, thousands of Sentinels, the Dock itself, & Zion rebels with their mechs were very impressive CGI work. It’s the only reason I’ll pop in the DVD now & then. (This is coming from someone who thought the burly brawl & the highway chase in The Matrix Reloaded were highly overrated. The CGI Neo & the Agent Smith clones were easy to spot & the agents jumping on the cars in the chase weren’t exactly seamless.)

Twister: This is a clear case of “Titanic Syndrome”. Any scenes involving tornadoes (especially the F5 in the finale) =cool. The Twister effects have held up well & only the water “Sisters” look a little cheesy. The rest of the movie with the love triangle & the rival storm chasers with their CORPORATE SPONSERED EVIL Black Vans=Ugh! I respect Bill Paxton as much as the next geek, but damn was he given such horrible dialogue & put in lame situations. I didn’t know experienced storm chasers throw dirt in the air to find out where the next funnel cloud will touch down.

Which Star Wars movie was it that had Yoda fighting as a flea dancer? That was wrong on so many levels.

How about the plane crash in the otherwise fairly crappy Nic Cage movie "Knowing"...
