You probably already know that many movies use visual effects to enhance (or sometimes ruin) our cinematic experience, but you probably didn't realize just how often - and to what extent - such effects are used in the modern-day film industry.
Sure we know that the tiger in Life of Pi wasn't real (we all know that, right?). Nor was most of what we saw in The Avengers. Oh, and Alice in Wonderland. That wasn't real either. Sorry. But you might be surprised to learn that other movies have also been digitally manipulated, and in ways that you might not expect. Take a look at the revealing before-and-after pictures we've compiled for you below to see what we mean. You'll never look at movies in the same way again.

How could she keep a straight face while looking at this green blob?

They faked the Martian!?! You're probably going to tell me the Moon landing never happened...
Into The Woods
I hate this movie.. I hate the musical. It's like Shrek with no ogres and more bullshit.
The Chronicles Of Narnia
Must have been real awkward to have someone record you climbing a bunch of rocks
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
They made his cloak long enough to sweep the floors. Magic at its finest. DustRepellio
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
The Monuments Men

It must be truly harder to act in the movies of today than it was 80 years ago.
Ugly Betty
Is it really cheaper to animate it then to just go shooting in the street? So weird...
300
This isn't 300. This screenshot is from 300:Rise of an Empire. You shouldn't confuse the two movies. The first movie was cool, clings more to the book, has more sense, and the guys are so f*ckeable. The latter one is just sad, doesn't even compare to 300's level (despite Eva Green's tit show, it's a meh-- movie)
