The Biggest CGI Mistakes You Completely Missed

If animators get lazy, overburdened, or careless, then CGI can totally ruin what's happening in a movie. But some of these animated mishaps are hard to spot. So today, we're looking at everything from Marvel movies to sci-fi masterpieces as we discover the CGI mistakes that you might've missed.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe gave us 21 movies leading up to the epic conclusion that is Avengers: Endgame. In a movie teeming with an enormous amount of CGI, it's a testament to the acting capabilities of the incredible cast that they're able to portray the necessary emotions while staring up into the giant foam heads of CGI character stand-ins.

Of course, given that these movies have such a large fanbase, it stands to reason that slip-ups would be noticed as fanatics hover with their noses inches from the screen, pen and legal pad at the ready. Some of these mistakes are so miniscule they're hardly worth mentioning at all, such as a rendering issue in one of Thanos' legendary finger snaps where his fingers ever so slightly pop out of his glove. Others, however, could lead us to miss out on several seconds of action as we scratch our heads.

A prime example of this would be in the climactic moment when Mjolnir finds its way into the hands of Captain America. Seconds before this, Thanos is pushing the ax, Stormbreaker, into Thor's chest while the god of thunder resists with all his might. It's at this moment that the legendary hammer zips through the air and clips Thanos' shoulder. A second after the hit, Thanos turns back to face his star-spangled attacker...and he's no longer holding the ax, but instead, he's wielding his dual-bladed sword. An unfortunate oversight.

Released in 2011, In Time stars Justin Timberlake and brings to life a dystopian future in which time has been monetized. In this sci-fi flick, all humans have been engineered to stop aging at 25, and they've been given a timer on their forearms that constantly counts down. If this timer reaches zero, you die instantly.

So, of course, the primary currency of this world is time itself.

Sure, it's an obvious metaphor, but an intriguing plot nonetheless. Most of the film takes place in a visibly believable landscape that doesn't need to implement an excessive amount of CGI. There is one scene, however, that used it with terrible results. Keep watching the video to see the biggest CGI mistakes you completely missed.
