From optical, to model to full computer generated image, the magic of visual effects has allowed filmmakers to add new levels of fantasy and realism to storytelling on film. But then the storm of the 1990's arrived pushing this unique speciality into the forefront. Now CGI has become the top billed star in Hollywood. Who needs story when you've got millions of terabytes to feed? The early fun, fascination and wonder has become a full P.T. Barnum experience of cinematic chills and thrills...and little else. Running for cover without an umbrella, Andy and John try to survive in an all digital rainstorm of sound and fury...signifying nothing.
