Well that's my opinion about alot of this fantasy stuff now. It is TOTALLY overdone, by mindless Hollyood types who have TONS of cheap George Lucas wannabees available nowadays. These people who think they are so cool and advanced are really 5-10 years behind the real "next thing".. That's why the movie trend by the Big Thinkers is switching to REALISM special effects. Example- "Enemy At The Gates", plot- a "B", special effects "A+". Done with Maya, BTW... "Pearl Harbor" has totally awesome live shot-3D effect combos that are setting the NEXT BIG standard- REAL REALISM...With REAL CHARACTERS, from REAL HISTORY- but done with state-of-the-art SFX. "Titantic" was the single greatest example of this so far, and James Cameron, who made tons of money with the Terminator movies, had the vision to MOVE ON to the next level. Michael Bay of "Pearl Harbor" also has this same vision of combining a REAL great story with top-of-the-line special effects...
