Why is Transformers (2007) and Bumblebee so much higher quality than Transformers 2-5? What went wrong...

everything is outsourced to poojeets that do hacked together shit for 0.05/an hour

>scene is F16s taking off
Ok, what?

It is SHOCKING how good the visual effects look for something that released in 2007. You stop seeing them as CG, and simply accept them as really present in the scene.

Iron man 1 CGI is absurldy good...and then you watch Infinity War or Endgame and just go What?!!

It really isn’t. There’s nothing impressive about making robots do cgi flips.
