Definitely not the whole movie
I did say in general. No, it's not perfect in that regard, but most of it's pretty good looking, and it's far, far less offensive than say, Attack of the Clones is in parts.
why
Definitely not the whole movie
The inside of Big Ben from The Great Mouse Detective.
animators Phil Nibbelink and Dave Gielow spent months designing the interior of Big Ben, with each gear were produced as wire-frame graphics on a computer, printed out and traced onto animation cels where colors and the characters were added.[18]
One of the many reasons Jurassic Park looks so good is the incredible animation. They worked with old school puppeteers using custom built puppets that translated their movements 1:1 to the 3D models (CG animators just weren't as experienced then) to make sure that all the animation was evocative and lively.
The raptors are obviously CG in the kitchen scene, but they move so well my brain barely cares at all because it's too busy focusing on their authentic and terrifying predatory presence.
The JP Bluray making of extras are ESSENTIAL viewing if you're fond of the film.
Flight of the Navigator
Yeah LotR looks great if you ignore some of the copy paste soldiers on the battlefields. Balrog still da best.
I was gonna say, if that was CGI, that's some of the best CGI I've ever seen
I recently rewatched Titanic and a lot of the CGI & practical effects are very obvious. It's a technical achievement but it hasnt aged too well.Titanic

Why is everyone so impressed that the Jeep in the T-Rex scene is CGI? Non-organic objects are way easier to do than organic. You guys are weird sometimes.

The stained glass knight in Young Sherlock Holmes IS CGI.

The Jeep still needed to be modeled, textured and lit. It then needs to interact with the dino when it's stepped on, so it needs it's own rig/deformation physics. Finally, it needs to be composited which means having it match the scene's perspective and grading it with everything else giving it, its final real look. All in all, it's impressive considering they could have used a real car to get similar results.
The T-Rex night attack still looks incredible.
I know it's not too old (7 years) but its CGI hasnt been topped. EVERYTHING is CGI.
Davy Jones would be my second pick.
Jurassic Park T-Rex attack
The fact that the jeep is CGI is incredible. I always thought it was a practical effect.

Forgot how well done that was. Fincher seems generally really good about using CGI. (However I could have done without that coffeecan handle shot. That's a bit too on the nose)Panic Room's CGI in the long take couldn't be better, it looks like it came out in 2016.

Here's a video showing off the CGI.

Toy Story 1995
Still looks amazing considering it was being made with 1994 computers !
I think the Lord of the Rings trilogy will age so much better than The Hobbit, because despite the difference in tech they didn't rely on it for everything.
I think computer, not 100%Were the Predator camouflage scenes done with computers or was that old fashioned camera tricks and compositing? I think those hold up pretty well for the time.

Got some news for you
That T2 GIF isn't CGI. That's a practical effect

Jungle Book took the same approach and is equally amazing. I can't imagine what the avatar sequels will look like.I know it's not too old (7 years) but its CGI hasnt been topped. EVERYTHING is CGI.

[boots];210943371 said:Not a movie, but whenever the subject of great CGI comes up, I immediately think of Bjork's All Is Full of Love video from 1999.
Although some in the comments mention the robot bodies aren't CGI.
Zodiac?
I mean, I know it's nearly 10 years old, but I doubt many people know how much CGI was used, it looks so good.
