CGI In Movies A Good Or Bad Thing?

Decent Essays
Is the increase in the use of CGI in movies a good or bad thing?

Do you think Computer generated visual effects are ruining movies these days?
Do you remember the good old days where computers didn't actually make the movies?
The days when the original Jurassic Park came out and the dinosaurs and monsters were men in hand made rubber suits; those movie still looks good today: that's because of the practical effects. People say that directors need to use more practical effects because computer generated visual effects ruin movies.

I think that's wrong.
I think the reason why we think CGI looks bad is because we only see bad CGI because when it's well done and inspire with a great story you will rarely notice that it was done

    The majority of large animation producers of the time were drafted in to produce informational films for a number of different aspects of the war effort. Animation was now being sought after as a form of motivating and explaining in an engaging manner due to its relatively simplistic nature of the time (Solomon, 1994). It seemed that animation had begun to move away from the notion that it could only be used as a form of entertainment. It was now being utilized for its ability to convey information.
