Roger Ebert is wrong!

Saw "Final Fantasy" last night and despite a New Age plot that put me to sleep, I was astounded by the visual quality of the computer graphics, especially the 'actors'. On last week's "Ebert & Roeper", Roger predicted that despite the breakthrough quality in "Final Fantasy", computer graphics will never replace live actors because the physical subtleties of emotional expression will be impossible to fully synthesize. I think the 'actors' in "Final Fantasy" are already better and more expressive than Steven Seagal and Candice Bergen (re: her '60's and early '70's film appearances). Concerning Ms. Bergen, although she stunk in such classics as "The Wind and The Lion" and "The Day The Fish Came Out", she foreshadowed the coming of the computer as actor when she did the voice of SAL 9000 in "2010".
Experts said that a computer would never beat a world chess champion and they were wrong.
Experts said that digital would never sound as good as analog. Okay, so far they're still right about this one, but ten years from now?
But actors? Hah, they are right in the crosshairs. Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, your acting days are definitely numbered.
