Slightly off-topic, but still anecdotal how far CGI has come, I recently showed my dad who hasn't played any video games for at least 20 years this [0] video of the current MS Flight Simulator. It is produced in a documentary style, so there are no real cues to it being a game. After watching it together, my dad said: "Yeah that's a nice documentary about this difficult airport, but I thought you wanted to show me that new game?".
You can imagine his face when I told him that we've in fact watched just that.
