This article is heavily, almost solely based on silly things like color grading and sky replacement, which compared to the actual stunts - you know, people hanging on poles from real vehicles in motion - is being very nit-picky.
It also seems there's a good reason for the changes, mentioned in the article itself:
> "The world was medieval, in a way, so it had to be grounded, and we had to do as much of it for real. However, there was not one shot in that movie that wasn’t CGI in one way or another. We shot over months, but [the story] was compressed in time over three days. Which meant the skies had to remain consistent, so every shot virtually had a changed sky. If you’re driving vehicles across the desert, you’re doing take after take, you’re doing track after track. You had to erase all but the necessary tracks…. Landscapes you had to change, if there was some greenery in it, and so on, and so on.”
This makes sense to me. I don't really care if the sky was replaced to color match the film. I care about the stunts, cars, trucks, I know that people performing crazy stunts are real, and most of it was captured in camera - more than I realized before watching the "making of" videos.
