Can you post some examples?

It looks a little plasticy and the animatronics certainly aren't smoothed, but it a much better effect than cgi composited onto a background plate. It's a real world object the actors can react to. It tooks hours, weeks, days and months of planning, production, and execution to accomplish .
I forget the name of the movie but an Asian guy gets mad and holds his breath until he explodes

Why didn't this poster just say it took months to accomplish, encompassing all the other units of time measurement?

I agree it holds up, I guess I was going with the "charming" angle.
The one where the bearded guy is fighting a bunch of spoopy skeletons with swords
You can tell they used a minature composited into the background when it crashes out of the room and here they have a life-size model. Still has a lot of charm.

No unless I remember it wrong it turned into some furry roadkill shooting chirping tentacles in all directions before escaping through the roof.

You can see the matte backgrounds. I wish they'd make a comeback, I'm not a fan of the digital backgrounds, you can just tell it's not real.
The original The Thing is fucking horrifying in how bad the special effects are.
Also the one with the ridiculously bad skeletons that rise from the earth. Is it Simbad?
Is there good money in special effects? I'm pretty good with Photoshop and After Effects
>>71551051
The makeup/costume on the alien? I can't remember what it looks like.

You're trying too hard.

The possibilities of CGI are endless. The only problem is that to make it realistic, you need a 100% precise physically based rendering. Computers just aren't there yet. There is a push in industrial applications to switch from real prototyping to VR. Problem is, VR just isn't that realistic: the object looks detached from reality because it doesn't interact in real time. So yeah... CGI is best employed moderately and only when strictly necessary. Real things just look more real. We still can't simulate all the little details for cheaper than just making the damn thing, in most cases. Hopefully hollywood will realize that soon enough.
