I really enjoyed this movie and although I never read the book, someone who had told me that it was basically entirely different but still amazingly done. Although I never really considered how they might have done this I didn’t care because it was so good. On the other hand, though, I didn’t think they would combine tactics as recreating the set, digitally rendering the set, and combining both of those together was something they would do. That’s three versions t get one challenge. It turned out well but digitally rendering everything I thought would have been the way to go about it. Using footage and editing things is just out of what I thought they would do. However, it seems to have been well worth it as what they did produced a really good movie. The digital world was well done, the CGI could have totally been actual construction and what was constructed was beautifully crafted. Overall a great movie and very well done.
