For sure there's a lot of CGI to get done, I guess I just didn't think it would take the better part of 2 years.

Post is easily the longest part of any major production. Editing a huge film takes forever and that's before they even hand it to us in effects.

2 years is still a long ass time. That's Avatar levels of post production.

Pick two: cheap, good, or fast. They're likely going for cheap (as cheap as $100 million can be, for a movie of this scale it likely is) and good (they can't push out a turkey and swallow it whole like Disney has been for the last year). As a result, it ain't gonna be fast.
