You are obviously full of BS.  Models and renders are friggin' well done 
-- you can even see sweat in the skin.  The only reason you notice they 
are CG is because they are moving like no human being could ever move, 
even with the help of wires.

Kinda like the "Jurassic Park" syndrome:  "ah, that's obviously CG!" 
Really, smartass?  What gave you that impression?  The fact that there 
are no running dinossaurs around so we could film them to be that 
realistic moving on screen?

I'm pretty sure you didn't notice most of the CG doubles when they are 
not obvious.  In particular, Neo's "super-man" flight in the night sky 
right in the beginning is pure CG, no Keanu whatsoever.  He could be 
easily suspended in wires, but while movement is pretty smooth and 
natural once he bursts into the clouds the abrupt change of pace between 
actor and CG could go bad... so, pure CG all along.
