the CG in the abyss certainly opened the door to new possibilities .. it was used to even greater extent in Terminator 2 ..
metallic morphing where reflections changed in the morphing surface appropriately ...
It looks amazing and can now take us places where we could never go properly before.
the charm of the old FX are cool in their own way - but i remember as a kid wishing they could make things look better..
And now they do ...
The trick is to just blend in the CGI where absolutely nessessary - complex monsters, alien landscapes, etc .... not use it to replace everything ...
