I think the 1923 Ten Commandments parting of the red sea was the most impressive!

Avatar looks like Halo and Crysis had sex and a movie poped out.

To this day, I am still impressed by T2. Think of the year and the computer power available. Windows 95 was still in development.
If you watch some older movies, they start to look dated effects wise(Star Wars before the update). That scene where he walks through the bars still holds up.
A lot of the newer movies just becomes a show off of what they can program in a computer. I hated Spidermans effects. It looked like a video game to me.
I think effects should be like make-up. Its most successful when you can't even tell.

T2 was pretty crazy and ahead of its time. It can still pass for a modern movie. Jurasic Park was pretty good too. back when they still actually used robots and not all just CGI

I don't know how they completely neglected all of the star trek movies, which were pretty forward reaching in terms of special effects in a lot of ways.

I find that in a lot of movies, the "film" aspect gets lost in the movie business aspect. How is anyone supposed to act when they place you in a green room and say "hey, there is some shit flying at you...act surprised". So many heavy CGI movies suck for it. It becomes eye candy instead of a good movie. Transformers, Spiderman...all those shitty block busters.

absolutely. how long until they just take a picture of an actors face and then manipulate it thru CGI for the entire movie and add some words in later
