I have been wanting to see the movie for a long time. I started to watch it on a plane but realized the movie is too heavy and needs to be watched at home or in a theatre where there's alot less noise.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421715/) won 3 Oscar awards this year. It's directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club), so it's got to be pretty good.
It also uses brand new "Performance Capture Technology" which is an upgrade from the older "Motion Capture" method. Instead of placing 25 blue dots or so on a person's face to capture basic expressions (smiling, frowning, etc), they used a kind of a blue dust to capture tens of thousands of points on Brad Pits Face. This let Brad pit act as a very old man, a teen, and a baby via CG, and make it very believable.
I've seen only a few parts but plan to rent it soon. It sure looks pretty good...!
