YEs it was drink. i will continue to defend it as a good movie, however.
Fincher has since made good use of cgi in other movies (fight club, for example)
I think using cgi for things that can be accomplished much easier, and better, with practical effects is unforgiveable. Computers should only be used when all other alternatives are exhausted, and should only be done by people who love the subject matter.
The lord of the rings movies were made wiht love and passion. you KNOW the direbeasts, Oliphants and cave trolls (and gollum, lest we forget him) are not real, but they sold them hook line and sinker. those creatures were works of art and looked ALIVE.
One of hte things i love about dog soldiers is that all of the effects are practical, not a single digital shot in the whole film.
And cgi blood? inexcusable. Completely inexcusable bullshit. Every time i hear that i think of shiny, fake looking orbs of purple klingon blood floating around the ship in the star trek movie with Kim Catral, and Event Horizon.
