I was watching Starship Troopers last night and something about the Arachnids struck me: They look completely real. Even now, in 2010, even the best of Sci-fi CGI looks completely fake to me...
But Starship Troopers, a movie from about a decade ago, has aliens that look completely real. I have no idea how they did it, but the Arachnids from Starship Troopers look more believable than the Navi from Avatar. It's the only time when CGI actually allowed me to maintain suspension of disbelief, rather than just distracting me.
So there's my vote, what movies do you think have the best special effects?
