I remember watching Terminator 2 when I was in film school (1991). It was shot in 1990, and the tech for the T1000 seemed incredible. Then a friend showed me how much CGI was used to clean up simple stuff that you would never have thought of. Watch the T800 (Arnold/Stuntrider) jump his Harley into the river bed. That was wire work cleaned up via CGI. Not really necessary, they could have shot a diff angle to hide it, but that's a tell as well. Movies since then have always used low-key FX and CGI for this type of journeyman stuff.

The thing that makes this great is that it increases a movie's verisimilitude. Your shots don't need to mask or hide things. They can be more organic and real.
