Google Veo 2 :What if you could imagine a whole video with only some words?
Now that’s what Google is trying with Veo 2, the result of AI-generated video content from this company. After playing around with Veo 2 and getting a sense for it—I mean it really is mind-blowing in some of the ways but also not-so-flawless.
Let’s dive into the experience!
First Impressions: The Magic Visuals
Those visuals? WOW,
Veo 2 can take the simplest of prompts e.g “a very cozy mountain cabin during snowy evening,” and expand them into full blown cinematic clips complete with atmospheric lighting, falling snowflakes and cabin light flicker.
The quality of detail and environment are way beyond what previous AI videos can handle. It sounds richer, more developed and a lot closer to what you’d expect from an indie film or artist commercial. The texture, color grading and lighting clues tells me Veo 2 have made substantial improvements under the hood.
Here it Fails: Physics Still Sounding Off
Now, Physics...
Here cracks were always going to develop
Some videos have weird objects stuff happening. For instance, water could run up, people walking slightly glitched, or some moving things (the birds you know, or the crashing waves) do not work entirely under gravity and physics.
It is almost like witnessing a hyper real dream, everything appears to be in the real until you find out… something goes uneven.
Weak Spots Noticed:
- Floating hair, funny jumps make gravity feels inconstant
- No realistic liquid (rivers or any kind of rain)
- Object Interactions ( like lifting an object with your hand might not be true physically)
It is a part where Sora models in OpenAI are also not good too, so not necessarily exclusive to Google—but one of the many AI visuals that look great (or in this case terrible) but are far from perfect.
Overall Verdict: A Giant Step Forward With Some Growing Pains
In short:
2 Fast forward to Google Veo 2 and unparalleled visuals — some of the best AI-generated content we have ever seen are sure to have you staring.
Older models never achieved such rich hues, it was the thing t hat is super emotional in a beautiful way
However, if you take a closer look — and with movement and physical interactions the weaknesses are obvious. It still reads like an artist’s painted world, not a totally physics based game.
- Will you be excited? Of course.
- Perfect? Perhaps not, but I bet it will be better.
Final Thoughts: Who Should Try Google Veo 2?
As a marketer, digital artist, indie film maker, educator or content creator looking to blow your creative boundaries — Google Veo 2 is definitely 100% worth checking out.
However if you require hyper realistic motion or exactly perfect physical simulations your project may still need a human factor—or lots of super good post-generation editing
It is clear in either case:
AI video creation is not going any time soon, the present has arrived already. And it looks impressive.
