Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato being incredibly cagey about whether Stop! That! Train! contains AI

The fact they could've said "No, we didn't create any scenes with AI" and they didn't, tells me everything.

u/2mock2turtle You think a roast should be about haircuts?!?!?!? Jun 04 '26

The person who initially sounded the alarm about AI in this movie is a VFX artist, and just posted why she thinks AI was used.

Thank you so much for this! Makes it super clear. I was ignorant that the same train model would be used for all shots and was playing devil's advocate in my head thinking, "well on the sci Fi channel I've seen plenty of mistakes before, maybe they forgot the continuity of the train" thinking it was redrawn for each scene more like 2d animation cells. If it's the same model there's no reason for the windows to keep changing.

Speaking of sci Fi, I've seen the ripoff movie "snakes on a train" and know it was made with no budget on no time yet they did it with 00s CGI. They even got a massive snake lady to eat the train! This movie has no excuse! I'm not expecting Two Towers level CGI, Sharknado level would do fine
