I got sucked in by a usually reliable source... shoulda known better. For all the money spent, CGI never looks real, always strains for excess, and rarely if ever adds to the story. I was reminded recently of this by re-viewing "The Abyss", the last movie (one of the originals?) that wasn't wrecked by CGI. Maybe it's just about not being of the generation raised on computer games...oh well, live 'n learn.
Cheers,
