10 Terrible CGI Movie Moments You Can’t Unsee

5. Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines - Fake Gravestones

Coming into the third instalment of the Terminator franchise, fans were convinced that the series could do no wrong.

The original James Cameron flick boasted some of the best practical effects of its time and T2: Judgement Day also held its own in terms of its impressive visuals.

Rise of the Machines did its best to keep pace with its predecessors in 2003, but there were a few moments where the effects stuck out like a sore mechanical thumb.

The worst of which goes down in a cemetery when Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator is attempting to flee the scene with John Connor in a coffin.

After safely shoving the coffin into the backseat of a hearse, the pair pick up Kate Brewster just as she's about to be blown to bits by the evil T-X. But, not before Arnie blasts the nasty robot with a rocket launcher straight into one of the worst digitally rendered objects in cinema history. An ill-fated gravestone.

Brewster is saved and the three manage to get away from the scene, however the fans in the cinema couldn't get away from the fact that they'd just witnessed some truly rotten CGI in a near $200 million dollar blockbuster.
