Congratulations! You've taken the argument full circle! Just over 150 years ago art critics seeing photography in museums for the first time made exactly the same comment. Seriously, though, most new media begin by imitating their parent medium. Film started by imitating theatre, television started by imitating movies. This is a good thing. Over time, the new medium begins to flex its muscles and start doing things the parent couldn't/didn't, but those 'things' don't usually manifest themselves until after the imitation of the parent reaches its creative limits. Personally, I'd like to push the envelope on what can be done with a desktop computer. That is a valid challenge, esp. with low to medium resolution (compared to Hollywood SFX) meshes. First, achieve the technical feat, then apply artistic technique to it.
