And, conversely, the other effect - the people who dismiss even high-quality CGI
without an iota of understanding how much effort, research and talent goes into
it. Most people even seem to dismiss movie sequences as 'just cgi' even when
there isn't any. It seems trendy for people to bash movie effects as if it makes
them look clever for spotting the effects - even if it's logically impossible
for a scene to be done any other way.
