At the moment high quality CG is very expensive to create, usually far more expensive than the respective non-CG methods that would be required to replicate it... not to mention many scenes would be impossible to do w/o CG.
As for 300 million dollar movies, this movie really isn't that far off from other movies of the same caliber. The new pirates movie will cost $225-300 million, the previous pirates movie cost $225 million... Superman Returns was $270 million. The cost to create high quality CG movies will continue to rise for at least a decade or more.
