    It probably costed some 100k just to pay the guy that designed the look and feel of the interface and obviously they had medical advices on the matter (common knowledge really).

    The patient is going through merging with a symbionte, most patients (test subjects) died.

    Of course they are happy to read anomalous but stable vitals.

      I honestly don’t think that they paid that much. Most of it is probably just some stock animation that they bought and use, rather than anything specific.

        100 million budget. It’s almost a million a minute and you think they slap stock animations for close up plot points and run the risk of having 5% of the audience going “those number are silly wtf am I watching”?

          Yes, absolutely. The big bucks are for A-listed actors, executive producers and gigatons of cocaine, not nerd fan service.

          3D effects will get a much bigger fraction of the CGI budget than some random animated chart

            No shit. The fraction is not: “google image, upscale, good enough but the alien finger that point at the same screen will get 6 hours to render using 50% of the elecricity of texas”.

              Only a handful of movies like Avatar gets actual effort put into fully custom fake interfaces, where the producer has a big vision. But even most other blockbuster releases don’t get that. Fast & The Furious with a dozen movies in the series? Nah. Anything where what’s on the screen is just filler will simply not get a big budget for interfaces. Even for big budget movies.

      I think you’re really overestimating how much they’d pay a handful of random Korean guys for a few days of their time.

        What I meant is it’s not rushed. I also don’t doubt that the boss of said Koreans made a hefty sum by landing a contract with Disney.
