It was cool back in 1993 to see dinosuars brought to life, Computer-generated tornados were cool to look at in Twister (but the movie sucked)
Its all common now, hell even TV commercials can qualify for special effects awards.It almost seems like they say: "Wow! We can do this effect!!..lets build a movie around it!"
...& they ran wide-open with that idea in the Matrix movies.(Whoa.)
Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful for the technology to give us amazing visuals other-wise impossible to see. I just think it is abused.
Face it...Twister, was not made because there was an interesting story to tell, or because the charactors were interesting. Twister was made because now they can make tornados look "real".Period.
Movies with "CGI-abuse", the list is long & ugly....
just my 2cents..
