For discussions sake, I do disagree that the long opening shot is somehow not impressive just because CGI imagery is now ubiquitous in cinema. I think the opening shot, starting with the two fighters and the slow reveal of just how HUGE that battle is one of the better action sequences in the film and some of the best CGI in the PT.

I must say, I agree with him, CGI was impressive when it started, but at the current stage of its development, there's nothing impressive about it anymore. Don't get me wrong though, the scene was impressive in itself, the way it was done, there is just nothing impressive about the fact that it could be done. I consider the space battle in Return of the Jedi to be the greatest and most impressive VFX in the history of ever, because it was done optically with models, yet looked almost completely realistic (maybe more so than CGI) and it had some really long and complicated shots. I've always loved the long shot of the Rebel fleet before the hyperspace jump where Falcon flies around followed by several starfighters.

Oh, and just in case this got lost because it was the last post on the previous page:

I really liked the new Star Trek. When I saw it in the cinema, I thought: Wow, this film was more STAR WARS than any of the STAR WARS prequels!!!
