But you can't take anything away from what was done with Avatar just because these still images are more realistic in appearance. It is one thing to take inanimate objects, with little or no motion, and create virtual representations to this degree that most would not be able to tell were CGI. But when you add in motion, like the falling papers or the camera man, the animated aspect of it all is exposed and it is easy to tell you aren't looking at a real person or papers. But with Avatar there is an entire planet of living environment and creatures brought to life with extraordinary, realistic movements and sound. What James Cameron did with that movie is amazing and even though this was a great display of where CGI is going in the future, in my mind it doesn't compare. These visuals are pretty stunning.

'cause if it's not my brain is over forever. It's no Clash of the Titans, all'm'sayin'. Well, it’s a good thing that this is actually fake (so, real?) ’cause if it’s not my brain is over forever.
