Popular Mechanics has been taken over by the ex-editor of Premiere, who's turned its website into a must-bookmark for movie buffs. PM's Erik Sofge unveils the Top Ten F/X Scenes of 2008 -- he irritatingly puts them in reverse order, so I reversed it back again. Remember, these aren't the best movies, just the best effects. "Look past the unconvincing cavemen, the undead muttering of Keanu Reeves's Klaatu, the candy-colored epilepsy trigger that is Speed Racer, says Sofge, and concentrate on the cool images. Why did I post the Iron Man picture when the movie is only halfway up the list? Because it's the best movie. Wanna fight, Dark Knight loonies?
PM's Best Effects Scenes of 2008:
1. The Dark Knight
2. Jumper
3. Speed Racer
4. Cloverfield [CLOVERFIELD??]
5. Iron Man
6. Wanted
7. Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
8. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
9. 10,000 B.C.
10. The Day the Earth Stood Still
