What I find so fantastic and humerus is that they went out of their way to make his face look blocky, squared off and basically unrealistic, yet with today's technology (and today is basically the "Tomorrow's World" that they pointed towards in the movie) we could make a far superior face that genuinely could be indistinguishable from the true face of Edison Carter if enough work was put into it.

Go to the loo, 'cause all the *beep* is coming out your mouth instead of your a-hole...

In the TV series, there was a brief frame or two(in the first episode, and the opening of later episodes) which was CGI, very low grade, presumably generated on an Amiga. So technically a part of it was CGI.

Also, the backgrounds were CGI, and if one was to assume the literal definition, the stuttering frames (as a framebuffer was needed to create the effects) were also CGI.

It's like assuming that A Scanner Darkly was all computer animated. It was at best computer rotoscoped from existing footage. If it was done without it, one could say it was all CGI, but technically it wasn't.
