Why do giant things in movies move in slow motion?

Is that realistic? Do ants see us like that?

Lots of folks missing the point I think you are making. A good example might be the antman movies, whenever he goes giant, for some reason they think it looks cooler to make his movements slow, plodding, and laborious. Which is a subjective choice and some might like it… But I personally think it looks ridiculous and there is *no* reason that it must be this way. Look at the neon Genesis evangelion movies as a counter example. They have similar scaled humanoid giants moving around and they give them a frightening sense of speed and scale not to mention *weight* without needing to rely of slow plodding movements.

This is 100% a choice that the folks making the media are making. And to me, it looks WAY better and more impactful for a giant to run around quickly as if you or I were running amok in a model train convention. (Don’t do this, those old guys are stronger than they look and take their miniatures seriously)
