Jurassic Park has been running on AMC tonight and my gf and I agreed that even modern CGI barely holds a candle to the nearly 20 year old effects and animatronics
That's not true. 90% of the CGI in films these days is done so well that you don't even know it's there. Most films are done in small studios and the entire environments are CGI, you just can't tell by looking at it.
