District 9 and Visual Effects

District 9 was the last movie I saw that has amazing visual effects. It's said to represent a new generation of sci-fi movies, made with a fraction of the budget of the big Hollywood movies like Transformers, but still with really advanced visual effects. As computer animation and visual effects programs have become cheaper and cheaper and more user friendly, I can't wait to see what the movies will look like a few years from now. DMW's and Variety's Future of Film Summit will give you a glimpse of what is to come. Until then, enjoy the video below which represents the last 100 years of evolution in terms of visual effects for movies.
