Special effects, costumes and sets are all much more believable when you're viewing them on a little grainy screen Can confirm. I recently watched Ghostbuster

Can confirm. I recently watched Ghostbusters on Blu-ray. Wow. The special effects are really obvious.
- pessimizer 4y ago> The special effects are really obvious. I've never understood this complaint. Almost all special effects are obvious, because they depict things that aren't real. I don't remember watching Ghostbusters in the theater and wondering if those were really ghosts.
- SenHeng 4y agoSome people just cannot (or refuse to) recognise all the noise you can see around old/cheap/low quality effects. I often watched those silly Japanese horror varieties where they would show you a grainy video of some dark place, and then maybe a grainy shot of someone crawling out of something. But you know it's two separate things spliced together because the grains are of a different size, or when one area is gray-scale while another is simply decolourised to match. My friends could never tell the difference.
- na85 4y agoIt's easier to suspend your disbelief when you can't see the little squares around the TIE Fighter as it attacks the Millennium Falcon.
- joosters 4y agoOlder 'practical' special effects still hold up better than much more recent early CGI though. Even if you can tell that something is a physical model, IMO it still looks 100x better than a poorly rendered and animated low-poly 3d effect.
- na85 4y agoEven modern CG is garbage and suffers from the uncanny valley effect. I don't enjoy Marvel films but even if I did they're unwatchable because of the awful CG.
