Avengers: Infinity War :
Infinity war is one i think should deserve an Oscar because (even though i'm trying to keep away from being biased) the whole universal design from earth to outer space with the guardians of the galaxy is stunning and all of the effects put into these scenes are amazing with the way they. Thanos (The main antagonist) using the infinity stones to decide what he is going to do, such as pulling a moon down on the avengers. But as you can tell the special effects and CGI were a major key part of this film.
Watching a VFX breakdown from Industrial Light & Magic, the majority of this film was filmed in front of a blue screen and a large amount of CGI was used to develop the locations and suits of the heroes were using in Infinity war (which is typical for a movie with this sort of budget) but to create it at this level that it looks real except moments like Bruce Banner in the hulk buster armour and Corvus Glaive's face during the train station fight scene which was a distraction in this movie.
First Man:
Moving on to our second nominee which is 'First man', which follows the story behind the 1969 space launch to the moon which 530 million people watched. However the film was weak in its special effects because of the budget they used for the replica versions of the astronauts pod which simulated the movements in front of a curved screen. Now i'm not saying this film doesn't deserve an Oscar but I think they could've added a bit more visual effects when it is needed.
Solo: A Star Wars Story:
The main part of Star Wars is it design and application of it's sci-fi fantasy worlds, equipment and species of the different races throughout. However the film based it's focus on Harrison Fords character (Han Solo) in "Star Wars 4-5" and "force Awaken". Before the world looked like it did it was all CGI'd in by 1,2000 artists worldwide and additional contributions from outside vendors, The whole film took up to 2,000+ visual effects shots. Along with the world, some of the characters were also CG'd in after using rob puppets such as some of the creatures, L3-37 and Rio.
The amount of rendering and quality of Visual effects is amazing and the main reason i think this might be the film that hits the awards this year and i have my fingers crossed for it.
Christopher Robin:
Christopher Robin is the sequel to "Goodbye Christopher Robin" and re-introduces itself to the lovable honey loving bear "Pooh" and his friends. The film is based around the author of Disney's Winnie the Pooh. This Lovable bear was at first a monochrome plastic GCI nightmare before the colours were applied to the character to give him his original colours. I don't think this adorable film should deserve an Oscar.
Ready Player One:
Ready Player One is another film I have watched multiple times and the film introduces you to a world full of pop culture references ranging from characters to actual scenes pulled from films itself. There where a lot of visual effects that went in to this film to design the oasis and the real world scenarios Wade Watts was put through. ILM designed 900 shots of visual effects throughout the entire film, and Stanley Kubrick's 'shining' was mapped and copy into Ready Player One, they virtually copied the hallway but casted look alike twins to film this iconic scene.
