I'm not a big fan of CGI. I'm not a fan at all, unless they use it in a way that doesn't call attention to itself.

CGI has a lot of backlash now. I think it's just because there are so many people doing it. It's a tool and it's only as good as the people behind it.

The quality of CGI, audiences are now so used to it. They don't know what is CGI and what is real.

I don't have anything against CGI.

There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.

There's a depth to the look that you get with models that you just can't get with CGI. It's about the detail that you just wouldn't think to put in.

Even today, a lot of the CGI you see in movies is so clean and crisp that it just looks fake. It's weird: the more advanced they get, the faker it looks.

CGI has fully ruined car crashes. Because how can you be impressed with them now? When you watch them in the '70s, it was real cars, real metal, real blasts. They're really doing it and risking their lives. But I knew CGI was gonna start taking over.

Obviously, CGI in the last ten years has gone through such leaps and bounds that today, people are looking for these kinds of movies to wow audiences with technology.

Critics in particular treat CGI as a virus that's infecting film.
