Warcraft director Duncan Jones is not shying away from the usage of CGI in the upcoming movie.

Jones engaged in a Twitter discussion recently about the usage of CGI in film and how it can add to experience.

I hear this "CGI in film sucks," mantra again & again. It doesnt. Its a tool like any other. It can be done well & it can be done s**t.

Jones had previously said the amount of CGI in the Warcraft movie will be somewhere between Avatar and Planet of the Apes.

The Warcraft movie is expected in March 2016.
