Ah suck. This was the category I voted for whatever could prevent BB from winning. Obviously I failed miserably.

Why?  Are you letting your dislike of the movie get in the way of your judgment of the effects?

Iron Man came close, but I can't think of another film that had as much going for it, effect-wise.  Subtle, believable, wow-inducing.
