First feature film to use CGI
What was the first feature film to use computer-generated imagery, aka CGI? Was it … A.) “Star Wars: A New Hope,“ B.) “Tron,“ C.) “Westworld“ or D.) “Alien“?
The answer: C.) “Westworld.“ Released in 1973, it was the first feature film to include computer-made imagery, kicking off Hollywood’s love affair with CGI. And, yes, it’s the same plot as the HBO show of the same name.
Today, some movies, including “Guardians of the Galaxy,” use CGI in 90% of their shots. Computers making movies — what a Marvel!
