"At the time, the special effects work in The Mask was topnotch,
and, in revisiting the film more than 10 years later, those same FX
still stack up quite well with today's movies. Heavy use of CGI was
still a rare thing in 1994, with this film serving as a mere taste
of what was to come during that rest of that decade and into the
new millennium. The key to this FX technology is to make things
appear as realistic as possible, and nearly every effects-heavy
shot in this film seems far more real than the pedestrian work in
new projects like XXX. I never thought I'd be thinking of 1994 when
pining for "the good old days" of CGI."
