Honest AI Review, Minimax steps up in realism!
⚖️ This is Minimax, a recently launched text-to-video model accessible through Hailuo AI. I've tested it for some days, using Will Smith as a reference since he became the new Turing test for video models.
✅ Realism and consistency is definitely its strongest point. It seems well trained with human models, brilliant capturing expressions and pays attention to very small details and scene depth and all of them are very cinematic. 1280x720 resolution by default.
❌ However, it has many pain points and limitations that other models have already solved and added as features. First it doesn't support image-to-video which is really a must currently nor interpolation. Only 5 second videos and no option for extension. Physics and objects feel and unnatural.
🔝 Prompt adherence is notable, facial gestures are really natural, short prompts work better than longer, but camera management is really poor. So far it's free, I've been able to create some dozens of videos.
👨⚖️ Definitely is a model to revisit when image-to-video, extension and interpolation features are added. Until then, you're just rolling the dice every time as my good friend Tianyu Xu says in his book.
BONUS: Last scene with Batman has nothing to do with Will... but I loved it.
