Atrocities, you're right. CGI has come a long way since The Last Starfighter. I still enjoy watching the movie, though, even though you have to cringe when you look at the prehistoric graphics they used (and they were probably state of the art at the time). I'm glad Spielberg used CGI for Jurassic Park. George Lucas saw the missing ingredient he needed to make the prequel trilogy. I wouldn't mind working for ILM, but I have no graphics experience, and I haven't put together a pLastic model since I was probably 17.
