your mom looks cgi.
shareCGI has destroyed movies.
Sure did. The only people I know that love CGI are gamers. Which happens to be most people so no big deal. But people who are used to staring at CGI all day, they don't even notice. Us book readers are still scratching our heads about the whole thing.

"CGI has destroyed movies."
CGI is a tool - it doesn't destroy movies.
You are right but it has made film makers and studios completely lazy.
Back in the day film makers had to be creative with effects or use suspense. Now a days film studios are happy to fund CGI fests because the tech advances have made it so easy to pump this stuff out. It doesn't feel or look special anymore generally.
CGI can help avoid using as many stuntmen, less dangerous sets are required. Its much safer making a movie in the computer room than on the set
shareIndeed. In many ways CGI has helped advance filmmaking as a whole. Most movies today wouldn't look half has good without CGI or motion capture.
To name a few examples, Dawn of the planet of the apes and The Jungle Book.
"You are right but it has made film makers and studios completely lazy."
CGI hasn't made filmmakers and studios lazy - if there's a lack of effort on the studios' and/or filmmakers' parts, that's on them, not CGI. As Guillermo Del Toro had said in one of the features for "Pacific Rim", a filmmaker cannot just say "Oh, let's put CG in here" and just leave it at that, a filmmaker has to direct, including the look and animation of said-CGI.
CGI has absolutely made SOME studios lazy in some ways. If Jurassic park was made today the studio wouldn't even be willing to fund animatronics for example (Jurassic world). It's a much easier way around a problem than ever before. Now is that their fault? Absolutely.
And CGI can and has been used to amazing effect many times.
CGI is still a growing and evolving tool in filmaking.
Eventually I would imagine CGI will take on a whole different level to litterly mimick tangible real life objects. It would look better than models. It would look insanely real.
What? Cruise himself says:
I saw her. Sh*t is real.
;)
It's a shame I'll never read an actually intelligent well thought out CGI criticism in my lifetime that isn't uttered by a complete and utter dolt, it's a shame really...
shareLOOOOOL. . .agreed; a thousand percent

If you can tell it is CGI, it has not done what it is supposed to do. Special effects are supposed to look real even when you know they are not. CGI always looks like fancy animation to me. I can never buy into it.
shareUh huh.
So you couldn't tell the Harryhausen effects were fake? You watched the Gumby TV show, and thought those were real? Cartoons puzzle you?
"Hasn't done what it is supposed to do?" You sound confused.
