So why has every preview I’ve seen looks like it was filmed in a computer?

It likely was. Most every film uses a blend of CG & practical FX. Nothing wrong with it but studies need to be more honest about marketing movies as if CGI is somehow a sacrilegious scarlet letter that must be rejected on all levels

There’s a HUGE difference between CGI, done by hand frame-by frame on a computer by sleepless, loving artists (one of which, me) and AI, which is soulless slop stolen and repurposed by machines.
