” is only weeks away from a stateside release, the director has admitted that he isn’t completely satisfied with the final product. The blockbuster director, celebrated for his elaborate action sequences and practical pyrotechnics, has stated that he isn’t content with how every visual effects shot looks in the movie., Bay expressed a passion for the emphasis on practical stunts in “Ambulance” before noting his dissatisfaction with a few particular moments that required digital effects.

“All those explosions and cars flipping, that’s all real. That’s all live, real, ratchets. It looks very dangerous [and] it could be very dangerous if you don’t know what the hell you’re doing. Most of it is real stunts. There’s very few blue screen shots on the movie. There’s not a lot of CGI,” Bay says. “Some of the CGI is shit in this movie. There’s a couple shots that I wasn’t happy with, okay? Alright.

Footage from Bay’s interview was shared on Twitter by “Shazam!” director David F. Sandberg, who captioned the video with an inquisitive emoji. Some of Sandberg’s followers have interpreted the wordless caption as Sandberg calling Bay out for dismissing the work done by visual effects artists in post-production.

As the director-producer, why didn’t he get the VFX shots fixed?

It’s my party and I can cry if I want to

Jesus. He can just stop making movies now.🙄

Shouldn't he be in the editing room trying to fix it?

Why would any director share this right before their movie is set to open? This is like setting fire to your house right before you’re supposed to sell it. Jake and Yahya are great, but they can only do so much to keep audiences interested.

the Bay Bus is rolling

Isn't he.... the director lol

Way to promote your movie!

he still makes movies?
