My problem with this is the lighting doesn't make any sense. It seems like the lighting in CG scenes are completely inconsistent with how the composited real world actors are lit.
Then you have genie which is will smiths face pasted n a CG body which looks really weird cuz the lighting conditions of both look off, but they are directly connected. Genies body is overly specular while smiths face is not. There seem to be discontinuities in shadows and reflections between all elements of the scene.
Also smiths mocap looks wrong. It's like the finer details of his movements were filtered out giving a serious uncanny valley feel to it.
TL;DR: Lights in CG are different from real actor lighting.
Why get a A-lister like Will Smith if you are not going to show his face?
Why does this shot look so good? Looks nothing like this in the trailer.

Why do these disney remakes have this weird muted and de saturated colour look to them ? Its like there tryna be apart of the early dceu.
Looks meh, as opposed to lion king which looks great. I really hope mulan looks good
The Cave of Wonders is the most perfect example.
A magical, sentient being that forms out of nowhere in the middle of the desert.
Literally a static face carved on a mountain, that kinda lights up.
These movies are an absolute dearth of creativity and ambition in any aspect that matters.
He is a household name and face all around the world.Will Smith is hardly an A lister today. But surely they could have modeled the face like him so you can still see his resemblance and mimicry but still keep it distinct enough to look less weird like they do in a lot of animation and games.
He is a household name and face all around the world.
And he was the 6th highest paid actor of 2018, so there is that. And he probably has a clause in his contract that his face must be shown as is (which is not that uncommon for big stars)

Yup, but Hollywood gonna Hollywood. As shitty as it is, it's probably easier to market with a familiar face on a poster.This is probably true, and if it is, Disney should not have cast him for the role; it's too great of a restriction for a character like this.
Heh, The Lion King is no different in that regard.
Everything looks very...brown.
If I had to use a descriptor to describe Disney's remakes, I would say most of them just look lame. They lack the energy and pizzazz (and yahoo and how) that animation brings to the table.

lol. seriously horrible. Will Smith is not even trying to act. Its will smith the genie.
The whole thing looks cheap as well and jafar sounds like a woman?
