If a movie’s special effects look bad or unnatural, it can ruin the entire experience. Here are some films that had potential but were let down by poor computer-generated imagery, ultimately becoming unintentionally funny.
Released in 1989, Revenge of the ‘Gator is a pinball game where you try to score points while avoiding a hungry alligator! The game had different modes to play, and you could even connect with another player using a special cable. While critics liked it when it first came out, it didn’t sell very well, probably because video pinball games weren’t hugely popular, even the good ones. Over time, Revenge of the ‘Gator has been updated and re-released, but it didn’t get much attention on the Game Boy.
The ninth season of Rick and Morty premieres on Adult Swim this May. The network has been sharing glimpses of what’s to come, and now they’ve released the full trailer. It shows off the season’s wild new storylines and seems to confirm a shift in the show’s overall tone.
The second expansion builds on the foundation laid by the first, Shattered Space, offering a similar experience. While it doesn’t drastically change the formula, the new content itself is quite good.

Many consider Dante’s Peak a hidden treasure of 90s disaster films. Directed by Roger Donaldson and starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton, the movie tells the story of a volcanologist and a mayor working together to protect their Pacific Northwest town from a newly awakened, dangerous volcano. Despite a large $116 million budget and initially receiving unfavorable reviews (34% from critics and 39% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes), it’s a film that has aged well and deserves more recognition. Fans of 90s disaster movies can now watch Dante’s Peak on Peacock, where it became available on April 1st.
