I know, right? Like the use of cgi in nosferatu? VERY little, if any, was used as the director liked practical effects, not the cgi crapfests from Hollywoodland of the time!

I think it was more Green screen and motion capture than out and out CGI. Groundbreaking stuff. Did you see the 3D version?

Well, Abacuses have much higher resolution than modern day computers. They just don't use them anymore because it takes longer to input the data.
