RE: Real beats FX bullshit EVERY time. That's why "2001" makes a mockery of "Star Wars."

Hundreds (or thousands) of extras add a weight to a scene no digital anything can touch. Because even if you know nothing about filmmaking, you ultimately know what reality looks like. And you react to it.

"War and Peace" (The Russian original) has this in spades. It is not the greatest film ever made, but the battle scenes have rarely, if ever, been equalled, simply because they used uncountable numbers of Russian soldiers as extras, and the images of them stretched to the horizon, doing battle will never be mistaken for someone cloning people at a computer.
