You clearly dont know enough about how pipeline to make good 3d effects goes.

You cant just toss enough money and time to make good CGI scene. The director needs to understand how the effects work and how design the scene with that in mind. There is huge amount of work to make sure the real parts in the scene work with the CGI parts. It needs just as much planning, story boarding and collaborations between the different groubs than any other special effect shot needs. The lighting needs to match, the eye lines of the actors need to match. Any time when there is contact between real things and 3d modeled things it needs to be planned shot by shot to make it work. Even full CGI scenes need to be planned how they stransit in to ot from the real footage.

If you think special effects are just high speed pursuits or stunt men doing wire work, you really are selling the whole VFX industry short.
