There is no noticeable expression beyond pained.<br /><br />As for the baby we'll have to agree to disagree. It isn't cgi bashing, the baby did not look real because it was acting in an unreal way and was too hyper-real for want of a better phrase. The very thing you say it needed to do was the very thing that made it creepy and unreal. So, from that perspective, the cgi was successful.<br /><br />However I maintain an actual baby would have been better from a visual perspective and decent acting from the adults could have sold an awareness in the child where none existed by having their acting chops draw us unto the fantasy, that aside cgi could have been used subtly to change the expressions and make the baby seem more aware without losing realism.<br />Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-47597392356225786712013-03-28T03:57:40.387-07:002013-03-28T03:57:40.387-07:00Stewart does plenty of facial expressions.

That said, Summit might decide to make films that aren't book based.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-72792774835944345032013-03-28T01:07:04.988-07:002013-03-28T01:07:04.988-07:00So it's utterly, completly, finally over?
