CGI. The characters never actually shot a bullet or dodged them either. While most of it was filmed, CGI brought the things that weren’t accessible to the screen.
And of course, you can’t forget George Lucas. He had made great movies, such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones had melting faces while the ark was exposed. Star Wars had light sabers and blaster bullets, but could only be made with CGI. Jurassic Park had many dinosaurs in it, but using a prop would have made them look horrible and robotic. Speaking of which, props are the most useful things in a movie.
Without these props, movies can’t move forward. Say there was a movie on a haunted house. The actors then gear up to take on the ghosts, but all of the gear would be a prop. Every non-fully CGI movie has a prop in it. It is what makes the character and gives him an extra skill based on what his prop is. Movies have come a long way, and I expect that there won’t be much left to do to a movie. We’ve had movies pop out with 3D, but what else can make a movie better? Is the movie industry finally out of new ideas?
