I don't know a film where the CGI is that good that I hadn't noticed.
How do you know? Maybe you have seen lots of CGI that is so good that you haven't noticed and, errr, well not noticed. 
The point is when people go on about the great CGI in a a film they just saw. Wasn't that good as they noticed that it had CGI Granted, you can't not have CGI in certain films (e.g. superhero films, Sci-fi etc.) but even then they get it wrong. The spiderman CGI was dire, esp the flying through the street scenes, awful, simply awful.

Ill admit it was quite exagerated in the film, but its a commom thing in drag racing isnt? Hence why they have wheelie bars on the back.

And how exactly do they cause the pedals to go up and down?
Would it really have been that difficult to use more modern cars with drive by wire and not show the pedals moving? They could even have substituted the pedal scenes with some snazzy CGI stuff of circuits jumping or something!

For me it’s got to be the old 'zooming in on photos', there’s no software that can magnify a photo 10,000 times, it worked in Blade Runner, it doesn’t in anything else.

Terminator 3, when the female Terminator is using nano-bots to control cars. Ok, so I can accept the nano-bots that can control other machines. That can fit in with the standard suspension of disbelief. But tell me: how the fk do these work on old cars without "drive by wire"? And how exactly do they cause the pedals to go up and down?

I disagree. You will a suspension of disbelief for the premise of the film or book, and then expect them to be self-consistent. So the film requires you to accept "invulnerable, shape-shifting, time-traveling, robot assassins from the future". That's fine. But since it is set in the modern day, it has to be plausible outside of the premise. Which means, say, a mechanical lawnmover can't be controlled by super-hacker nanobots say. Or indeed a car without computer-controlled drive-by-wire. Edited by JonRB on Friday 27th March 11:22
