# too true
even when they do a CG person and directly copy the movements from an actual person walking etc., it still looks wrong

# Jurassic Park worked.
And some of the monsters in LOTR worked (but the greenscreening was diabolical!).
But everybody else is just using CGI because it's wrongly associated with superior results to traditional FX. They must be able to see that it's ropey, surely?

People are the worst. CGI monsters you can sometimes get away with if you're really good, but people just can't be done on computers yet.

# Oh, god, yes.
The daft thing is they could have done most of it for real! Like that scene with Neo spinning around on his stick in the basketball court. They could have used wires to make that happen, rather than drawing him in with crayons.
