The example of "Clu" in TRON: Legacy is a bad example. In the movie they are inside a simulation and everybody besides the real humans do look a bit off, on purpose. So 3D generated young Jeff Bridges fits perfectly. It does add to the movie that they look "not completely real".

Great soundtrack by Daft Punk by the way. The story is linear but it's still an impressive movie.

Except for that bit in the beginning where its "Young Jeff Bridges" that was exceptionally bad.

Being a bit off on purpose doesn't change whether they are uncanny.
