CGI looks better and you can many things never possible with
those classic Special Effects.

What is so difficult to understand on this statement, a cgi graphic
will look perfect. It is to perfect for real life, so we can see it is
not real.
I think we both mean the same, but say it in a different way.
CGI looks more perfect than reality, the original White House
can be cleaned and serviced as much as you want, it will never
be perfect.
so as long as we talk about perfection, cgi looks better than
reality. if i would be talking about realism, the original will look
more real.
but in a future world it is possible to have surfaces and material
that is self cleaning and looks like the corridors on camino

Oh i have no problem to leave my computer, believe me,
such Interests like Photography force me to leave my home
and deal with the imperfection of the world
If you spend enough time, use a tripod and wait until night
you can even make wonderful images of reality

Oh i am a typical German, some People may be scared
by our love to perfection
