Jinx's dive...forgot that one (wish I could never remember it). I think one of the biggest problems with it was the height they were portraying. It looked as though she were dropping from a plane five hundred feet up! I don't know why filmmakers have to exaggerate diving heights so much. Anything over three or four stories to me is a feat....those divers in Acapulco are just.......nuts!

CGI can assist in a magic trick, it just shouldn't BE the magic trick.
This is my position. Upon second viewings of SF, I thought the CGI explosion was "acceptable", but not terrific. Still, it was miles ahead of the cartoonish CGI in DAD. The CGI used in the dogfight in QoS was something else that, as a big airplane buff, I found very distracting (ironically, contrast it with Band of Brothers, and they actually got good results in that miniseries each time they were using aircraft...then again, that miniseries was so true to life that one could suspend disbelief extremely easily). CR is really the only film made since TWINE that didn't bug me in some way with the CGI (although I rate SF very highly regardless). Still, in the words of my father, "Computer animation is like wine. You have to use a good brand, and once you've got that brand, you can't overuse it for reasons that are both different and hopefully obvious."
