I have heard complaints about AC CGI but what I have seen looks pretty good to me. Can anyone give an example of what is really good believable CGI compared to AC?

I always remember watching Independence day in the cinema the day it was released, I was 16 at the time (I'm 37 now lol) and I was blown away by the special effects/CGI

Fast forward to 2017 and I can't believe how dated it looks!

The only thing which has kinda stayed the same between that and the sequel (which imo, is bloody awful), is the CGI effects of the shields, that part hasn't changed.
