Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The most influential sci-fi movie ever made, Metropolis, has stunned a group of VFX artists with its unique practical effects 97 years later, showing why the film still holds up in the present day. The 1927 German silent film showcases a worker's rebellion against the rich and powerful in a dystopian, futuristic city.
Starting at 9:46, the group talks about how the movie used meticulous drawings to make its impressive effects, while mirrors were also used to make convincing shots and scene transitions. Check out what they had to say about the movie below: They don't have the tools at this era to do hold-out mats on the film and only expose part of it and do the rest. You can do that, but it's very janky, you'd have to do it very manually. Instead, they have two sets, both full size, and they just have a pane of glass.
Why Metropolis Is Such An Influential Sci-Fi Movie As the visual effects of the German sci-fi movie show, Metropolis has influenced a multitude of movies that have come out after it. The set design of the futuristic city meshes with that of the Blade Runner movies and Robocop franchise, while the story about underdogs rising up with the help of a powerful leader is reminiscent of Star Wars and Dune.
