Wow, those effects are impressive, I think it's safe to say, no one watching this is going to notice some nuance in the rigging...
I couldn't help but notice how bad the mattes were in several shots. Considering how haphazardly the bluescreens were set up, I am not surprised. It's the curse of our industry, sloppy work done on the set because no one gives a damn, but when it comes time to fix it, they don't understand why it costs so much - that is, if they pay for that part at all...
