David Fincher Admits CGI Work In ‘Benjamin Button’ Is Not “100% Believable In Most Shots”

“Is Benjamin absolutely 100% believable in most shots? No, but there are a couple that I look at and go, ‘Wow, we got really close.’ It’s just enough to get you to suspend your disbelief.” – David Fincher admits what a lot of us have already thought and felt: The CGI in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” doesn’t work all the time and for many, its a bothersome distraction that takes you emotionally in and out of the story periodically and throughout. Not a good look, but at least he’s honest. [L.A. Times]
