Whatever the technical reasons may, or may not, be, he didn’t look REAL.

And when a CG character put opposite real actors, and worst of all opposite the actor he’s supposed to be a younger version of, that CG character had better be up to the job.

Clu wasn’t. The Uncanny Valley has been crossed a few times, but not this time.

A lot of the expression was lost. It was a shame and really destroyed the suspension of disbelief for me.
