I wonder about this. The programmers say that the sheer programming requirements of visual effects is mind-boggling, so you quickly run out of overhead, i.e. you'd need vast amounts of processing power to display relatively simple things, like a landscape or even a single halfway photographic-quality tree. The films are evolving as fast as the CGI technology, so it's the never-ending race of the Red Queen.
