Gore Verbinski, director of the original Pirates of the Caribbean, recently took a jab at Epic Games, claiming Unreal Engine is hurting CGI quality in films. He pointed out how using gaming tech can create a 'gaming aesthetic' that overshadows traditional filmmaking, especially with light rendering issues. But Epic’s VFX supervisor, Pat Tubach, defended the engine, saying it’s all about the artist, not just the tools. He believes Unreal Engine opens doors for creativity that earlier filmmakers could only wish for. What do you think about the use of gaming tech in movies?
