I live sifi/monster/fantasy/action/horror type movies but I hate all the cgi they use anymore. Whatever happened to using prop puppets and animatronic? The trailer to this movie looked like a live action cartoon. Ill take the worst puppeteering ove cgi any day.
I don't hate all cgi it can be amazing when done right like in district 9 it looked amazing.
CGI is so good these days that you can barely tell what's CGI and what isn't. Back in the late 90s/early 2000s you could always tell because it wasn't very good yet.

Oh, I beg to differ. It seems naive to believe that things improve with time and that automatically the date provides quality. Have you seen the CG in Legend of Hercules or any syfy original movie?
2001 gave us Lord of the Rings and Spiderman, 1994 gave us Jurassic Park. At the same time there was horrible CGI in Van Helsing and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in 2004, yet in 2003 there was fantastic CG in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
It's not age that makes CG poor, it's budget and talent. There's still art involved. Someone has to design and draw the textures and skin of the creatures done in CG, there's still art involved. The quality isn't about the machines, it's the human hand that makes it look real or not. Look in the catalogs of Second Life and IMVU. Some of the 3D products are crap, some look almost like real fabric. The difference is not the age, but the quality.
