Have to disagree here models look real and cgi looks fake.

 

Well, it doesn't always look fake - its just a case of how much time was allowed to do the job - usually, not nearly enough time. In CGI all the realism you get for "free" on a model has be be very carefully and painstakingly incorporated into a CG effect - In most cases its just easier to build a model and go shoot it in fact. But the flexibility of CGI effects has been deemed more important than out and out realism. I believe you can find a good middle ground personally but in hollywood schedules get shorter and shorter so its kind of a losing battle.
