Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In this sentence, Marcos is having trouble deciding between two things, so the word "whether" is needed. The sentence is discussing the "impressiveness" of special effects, so "effects" is the correct word to use. Finally, Marcos is comparing the effects in one movie to those in another, so "than" is appropriate.
