Some of the fully rendered scenes during the final battle in TPM did indeed look quite unconvincing when I saw the movie in the theater. It brought me out of the moment in the same way traditional effects work with poor compositing, thinck matte lines and poor matching in terms of lighting would have done. Other than that and a few other scenes, I think the CGI effects work for the PT was fine. It wasn't perfect by any means, but for me it got the job done reasonably convincingly. I only wish the rest of the production had done the same.
