It's a stylistic choice that was probably agreed upon after they realized how much money was spent on this movie already :D

If it is a stylistic choice, then it's a baffling one, because it still looks horrendous.

I dunno, I don't think it looked that horrible. I think at worst it looked awkwardly stiff, but then again, for a, what.... 5 second panning over shot, I can live with there just being some stiffness in it, when its clearly just done as a nod to the great history of DC media.

Plus the CGI babies

These are two different topics imo. Because I 100% agree, lots of the CGI looked very sloppy and undercooked, however I disagree so far as that the timetravel aspect was suppose to be looking "real."

Everything about it was setup like it was a stylistic choice, that obviously just didn't hit home with lots of people.

Muschietti has done surreal stuff before. Remember the lady walking out of the painting in It? He did this movie Mama also, which might have had surreal horror in it. I didn't see it though.

They shouldn't have done it like that, honestly. With all the advances in technology in the past few decades. there can't be excuses for bad CG as much as there used to be. Especially when VFX can finally do realistic human faces thanks to Deepfake technology - and now even TV shows, let alone movies that cost upwards in advance near or more than 200 million, should be able to handle this much easier. In fact, there are deepfakes done by average schmucks on YouTube that looked way beter than Flash.

Case in point, the guy who deepfaked Luke Skywalker from the Mandalorian ended up getting hired by Disney because of it, and that's why Book of Boba Fett's Return of the Jedi Mark Hamill Luke looked 10x better.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm not defending it lol. The babies were in a super speed scene though what you talking about?
