Nothing Left to the Imagination/Quotes

"For me the 'saddest' thing about CGI is that it’s the 'easy' way out. The most powerful thing in the film maker’s arsenal is the viewers imagination."

—Yang (commenter), Computer Generated Images: The Utilization in Hollywood Films (The Artifice)

"Today, it's nearly as common for audience to pan a film's effects [...] as it is for them to praise it:
We've gotten so used to CGI that the illusion, the sense of realness that pervaded Jurassic Park, is dead."

—Alexander Huls, The Jurassic Park Period: How CGI Dinosaurs Transformed Film Forever (The Atlantic)
