“Every day, I come by your house and I pick you up.

I feel like using CG in that prequel is one of the biggest signs that they didn't understand what they were doing. 
I AM LEGEND, too, apparently had entirely practical VFX at one point, was redirected to use CG for the hemocytes. Hemophiles? What did they call their damned vampires?

One of our teachers had us read the book in school. I loved it. So I was hyped as fuck when they announced the big budget film. I stomped out the cinema after 20 minutes in a fit of pure autistic butt rage. I couldn't believe they stripped out all the horror and turned it into a shitty action movie.
