I can’t believe that wreck was real. I guess I am CGI’ed to the point in thinking everything Hollywood did the past 20 years is fake.

"I can’t believe that wreck was real."

Talk about needing to get a shoot right the first time!
How the heck do you "redo" something like that?
Looked great on the big screen of a movie theater.

Ditto. I always figure with computers these scenes are CGI'ed. It's impressive to hear about a special effects shot done using the real thing.

I'm reminded of a scene in the movie 'Gladiator' where Maximus (Russell Crowe) is in the arena with another gladiator and two chained tigers are released from hidden pits (a sort of extreme 'out of bounds' marker). First time I saw the movie I thought wow those tigers look so real. It turns out they were real tigers!

Try 41 years. The era of CGI began with the moon landings in 1969.
