Have you seen the movies?
I believe that the two Matrix sequels are the only movies this year that have delivered groundbreaking or original visual effects. Return of the King had absolutely spectacular visual effects, but huge armies and landscapes have been did before -- just not so damned well. I honestly don't see how anyone could watch the Burly Brawl, the balcony fight, or the highway scene in Reloaded and not say it was stunning. Check out Zion in Revolutions! Look at the machine capital! Saying these movies are lackluster in the visual effects department is odd from my eyes. Which of the nominated movies do you think were so much better than the Matrix sequels in the visual effects area? Or better yet, can you explain why the Matrix sequels featured "lackluster" visual effects? Seeing 100 of the same man fight one person simultaneously, seeing an actor jump from car to car in the middle of a highway, and seeing a war go on between humans and machines is not unoriginal.
