... the comments are right. So much better than the current CGI junk.
Yeah, a lot of CGI is junk but it isn't the fault of the technology. It just seems like the directors are too in love with swoopy camera movements and exaggerated, oversped motion (CGI airplanes are the absolute worst). The movements of Harryhausen's creatures were subtle and measured. No reason they can't do that on a computer, they just don't.
