In fact I often find them more mature than 15's like Final Destination, most of them (in particular Pixar films) have a lot in for adults.Quote:

I will watch it, but have set my hopes low because it's going to be exactly the same as the last 3, and after what friends of mine have said, the story is even less built up in this than the last two sequels, which is saying something. The only animated film I have enjoyed is A Scanner Darkly, which is rotoscope animated added over live action, rather than drawings or CGI.Quote:

However, that said, films such as The Lord of the Rings and the Matrix, which are arguably the 2 best films of the past decade, couldn't have been done as well as they were without CGI.Quote:

CGI spaceships do nothing for me. It looks far from scentillating.
