The fact that Andy Serkis doesn't have an oscar yet is the most uncanny thing of all...

[TeamDragofied]

I can't believe we've found aliens, especially ones capable of voicing Andy Serkis. Incredible.

[docicusalignjon]

Andy Serkis is really one of the best actors of all time

[solidsbro]

In case if any of you were wondering, he was quoting Macbeth.

[Klevermoregames]

I love this soliloquy. Macbeth is an outstanding play. I've never heard it performed with such emotion even though it was meant to be super emotional, yet nihilistic at it's core.

[EricCarter]

Is it just me or does that thing bare a strange resembelence to Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug when it crunches up its face.

[alexanderforbes]

This is what Snoke should have looked like, a cool, unique alien, instead they settled on the bold choice of basically just a human with cartoon proportions.

[RedHoodOutlaw]

Andy serkis the man of a thousand faces

[TiciTotyTony]

Andy Serkis should have helped Mass Effect Andromeda 😥😥😥

[marknava]

So this alien is doing mo-cap to play Serkis, right?

[honginplongin]

I actually want to see the face on the right become a full fledged character voiced by Andy. I can only imagine what a story based around history, and an alien race be like on PS5 or whatever the next xbox is gonna be.

[RJMacReady]

Andy serkis should be goddamned knighted or something. Really sad his role in black panther wasnt bigger. The guy can act, mo-cap suit or not.

[lazychaoticgood]

Wow the human face almost looks real, amazing what people can do with technology these days

[bryenveliz]

Someone needs to use this alien character model ASAP! Looks super creepy and could make for an intimidating villain in a sci-fi game

[jrjoanes]

thats the thing about uncanny valley, the more and more you get close to something human (without actually being human) the human brain will pick up that it's not. so while the "human" half of this video is objectively speaking, stunning and impressive, people will feel more comfortable and "sympathetic" to the alien one.

[TheGoldSwordSquad]

It’s almost indistinguishable from a real face

[jonmartinez]

he's such a god at facial expressions and emotion. Can you give an award for that? Give it to him. And all the things he's been associated with.

[shaunakdeshpande]

The most under-appreciated actor of this age

[MLPdraedek]

*I CANNOT BE BETRAYED, I CANNOT BE BEATEN*







Gets betrayed and beaten at the same time

[twitinka]

That feeling when animated alien looks more realistic than human itslef :D
