have to agree with you there, Doug. But, without the effects, the movie was nothing. I think that's backward. The effects should serve the movie, not the other way 'round.An example of a movie without digital effects was "Crouching Tiger." Perhaps the limitations imposed by the lack of a bank of Sun workstations made the story a little better.
I also agree with you about Phantom -- way too much computer, not enough "flesh and blood." Memo to George L. from a person who's seen the orginal Star Wars trilogy more times than I'm willing to admit: Just because it can be done by a computer does not mean that it should be done that way.
