I would like to point out that TFA has done these feats on a much smaller budget compared to the others!

Titanic did it with 200 million, but that was huge for that time! The Avengers, Jurassic World, and Age of Ultron! Then Avatar.....425 million budget! TFA did it with 200 million. Sure we can argue they through in nostalgia to tug at our heartstrings, technology is easier to manager these days, Titanic did not really have any nostalgia in it and neither did Avatar, but it is still impressive!
