I used to spend my life filming things between 500 and 20,000 fps being blown up. Of course we only ever had dummies in the way but even so seeing what goes on inside a vehicle is pretty sobering.
I like this video, it shows you that CGI can be used without going mad but using it to enhance a scene
How about a full film of CGI?
Kingsglave is absoulty bonkers good, it fools your brain. The story is good too, which helps.

Nobody’s mentioned CGI using motion-capture, especially when Andy Serkis is involved with it. Filming an actual human actor then using CGI to create a highly realistic character with all of the subtlety that the human brings to it, nuance of expression, movement, etc., Planet Of The Apes being a prime example.
Alita: Battle Angel is one of the best examples of motion-capture + CGI I’ve seen, because the actress playing Alita not only had markers on her body to track her movements, she had a framework around her head with small cameras mounted on it to record all of her expressions and tiny facial movements and textures, even down to her freckles and tiny scars.
Saw it in the cinema, and watched it again recently, as I’ve upgraded my Sky box to Sky Q for free, and got a better deal which included Sky Movies, and it still impressed the heck out of me, a technical extravaganza but with a real heart to it.
