They brought back actual cast members. If this had been AI, that’d be awful. The “making of” shows the cast having a great time with it, so…
I don’t fully get the hate. It was very well done, and employed original cast.

I understand now why it’s strange, why everyone is in the uncanny valley. The actors played their parts now, and they mocapped their 30-years-ago models. Or something like that.
But this CGI doesn’t look as good as I would expect. I don’t know what went wrong.
It’s very much in the uncanny valley. Hard to point my finger at exactly what’s wrong, but no one looks quite real. I keep expecting their too-rubbery skin to start doing weird shit.
I watched it on my phone and nothing seemed weird on the little screen.
Try it on a large screen. Once details are visible everything looks super strange.
Regardless of whether it was achieved using AI or not, the de-aging is bizarre.
Im not sure the hate either. I guess i should expect it at this point. Everyone is so cynical about everything its a little to much anymore. I really thought this was one of my favorite commercials this year. I guess i should have been thinking about all the reasons it didnt make sense…
It was so creepy! Completely lost the plot, and the whole purpose of the movie too, so hated it for many reasons.
The "wrong"ness is the point.
They’ve taken a story that’s a lesson about technological hubris and turned it into an ad for just such a technology of which people are existentially wary.
It’s being naughty about an ethics lesson; diet caffiene-free non-carbonated trolling.
@impynchimpy It was pretty funny.
