Wow. Aliens Had Nike?

No film editor would allow a shot of an alien actor’s shoes in the final cut, would he? Stranger things have happened in the past. Was this a behind-the-scenes look or something in the movie. It’s not easy to run and jump with fake alien feet. They’re slippery and uncomfortable. You can see that it was easier for him to wear his Earthly shoes. However, the caveat is that it is in the film and not a behind-the-scenes look.

Most movie producers believe that the actors and sets should take most of the praise. However, some movies just couldn’t have been made without CGI and expendable models. Will Smith was neither, so some of the credit went to the computers and crew. This is the scene where Will Smith dodges the alien spacecraft. However, the flames are CGI-generated, and the plane/rocks are just models. About 80% of all the effects were models, like parts of this one above.
