A missing object

In my opinion there is no comparison of this movie to Memoirs of a Geisha. 2 different stories, 2 different ideas! I have studied the geisha culture for many years. Although I find the situations and acting farcical, the effort of getting seem like it could happen is spot on. The kimono and other attention to detail is perfect. The katsura (wigs), kimono, atmosphere of an okiya was exactly right.

I know the verb "help" can be used without a object, but that "get" can't.
Ex)
1. This software is designed to help control the system.
2. Swimming helps develop strong muscles.

So I'd like to know whether I can omit "them" before "seem" in the underlined sentence.
Thank you in advance for your help.
