Thor: Ragnarok was a standout film in the visual effects department, so much so that ComicBook.com nominated the film for a Golden Issue Award, and a new video gives fans a hint at just how those dazzling special effects were made.

The video above shows some scenes from Thor: Ragnarok with a before and after slider that reveals just how much special effects work went into bringing these alien landscapes and mythical battles to life.

Thor: Ragnarok is Marvel Studios' 17th consecutive film to open at number one at the domestic box office and the film's success pushed the Marvel Cinematic Universe to become the first franchise in history to earn more than $5 billion at the domestic box office.

Thor: Ragnarok is also the seventh-highest grossing movie of 2017 worldwide with a global box office total of $844.7 million
