Best CGI in a film?

It was models for some of the close-ups alright, but there are scenes where it can only be CGI.

Actually yes you're right. Some of it was models and some of it CGI. It was truly astonishing work. I saw it sometime back and I genuinely don't think it's really out of place even today.
 
Just remembered a scene from The Prestige:

SPOILER: Contains information integral to plot of film (specifically the end):
When you find out that the big trick is that there are twin brothers each living half of one life. The scene where the two Christian Bales are switching their costumes and one of them has to have his fingers chopped off. When I first saw that, I thought Bale actually had a twin!
 
The amount of CGI in films is mental. Things you wouldn't even expect like whole streets just bullshitted into the film.
 
A lot of the stuff that looks like it should have been CGI in Inception wasn't actually CGI. The spinning corridor was actually a spinning corridor, the room filling with water as the dream collapsed was actually a room filling with water, and all the shit exploding around them when Ellen Page's character first got told it was a dream was actually a load of shit exploding around them.
 
I always thought The Abyss was amazing when it came out. That watery worm thing.

That said I remeber being blown away at the cinema in 77 with Star Wars.

After taking my eldest to see Avatar I remember thinking afterwards that it's all just changed. T2 sort of did the same.

No CGI though. Only special effects.
