Absurd amounts of cgi will do that.

Not that I think that CGI is cheap, but spending millions in computer graphics with today's powerful hardware sounds absurd. So, something else must be it.

Edit: Oh, please. CGI is cheaper than actual props. ET the movie would be way cheaper to remake today than 40 years ago.

It's still human intensive to actually make. Also, when nearly every scene has something that was cgi it really adds up fast.
