Top Ten Most Realistic CGI Humans in Movies

It's pretty incredible to think that anything can be created with CGI these days (not that it always should be, George Lucas). Up until quite recently that statement would've had an "almost" in there. It would seem, however, that we can finally say, confidently, that creating realistic, lifelike human characters with CGI is completely achievable. This list compiles the most realistic-looking human characters created using computer animation. Please note that this list is exclusively for humans (or humanoid characters that are meant to resemble normal humans). Please do not add characters (like "Gollum") who do not fit this description.
The Top Ten
1 Grand Moff Tarkin (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. Tarkin served as Governor of the Outer Rim territories, and eventually earned the rank of Grand Moff. Tarkin also oversaw the production of the Death Star. Tarkin was portrayed in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope by Peter ...read more.

The last thing he was was realistic.

2 Brian O'Conner (Furious 7) Brian O'Conner is a fictional character and one of the three main protagonists of The Fast and the Furious film series, the other being Dominic Toretto and Sean Boswell.
3 Young T-800 Terminator (Terminator Genisys)
4 Young Hank Pym (Ant-Man)
5 Princess Leia (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) Princess Leia Organa, later known as General Leia Organa, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, portrayed in films by Carrie Fisher.
6 Benjamin Button (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

While not entirely CGI, Brad Pitt's old man visage was a very complicated effect for its time.

7 Young Tony Stark (Captain America: Civil War)
8 Young Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales)

There were a few moments where the young, CGI Jack looked a little fake, but, for the most part, it was a very impressive effect.

9 Clu (Tron: Legacy) Clu (short for Codified Likeness Utility 2.0) is the main antagonist in the 2010 Walt Disney film Tron: Legacy, he is played by legendary actor Jeff Bridges

Considering that this movie was made back in 2010, you have to give the animators credit for doing such fine work.

10 Young T-800 Terminator (Terminator Salvation)

Sure, people look back and scoff at the computer-animated T-800 scene NOW, but attempting anything like that back in 2009 was a major step.
