The rise of digital techniques in cinema may be the most radical change we have seen in the industry during the last three decades. Almost every step of the filmmaking process has been influenced by new technologies. The creative part is developed on computers more than on paper, and the visual one has to go through some kind of digital work, with few exceptions.
Sometimes it may be simple color correction in post-production, other times entire sections of a movie are digitally constructed. This happens through CGI, the milestone of modern commercial cinema.
Since it has become an habit of using CGI in these films (either with green screen, motion capture, or purely digitally-created elements), it can be said that these techniques are sometimes seen as a shortcut and used without hesitation. This often brings to underwhelming results, both in small and big budget films. This list looks at famous (or infamous) movies that feature a bad use of CGI.
