What makes it breathtaking for me is the rendering of the water. That's just too awesome. How do people do that? HOOOOOOOWThat was rhetorical by the way, all you nerds out there

Yeah, but with realism comes a higher price tag. With the time required to render scenes and hire the services of this quality and magnitude, the average cost of a video will either go up, or the production companies will cut back in other areas, such as directing, scripting, and acting.As is the case with many movies these days (*cough* War of the Worlds *cough*), effects alone doesn't make for a good movie. It's just like a website; pretty graphics do not trump content.
