The overt use of CGI is turing me off. It beginning to look like just what it is, overly done animation.

When used to compliment a scene, fine, and maybe when used in a completely fantasy setting where that sort of “unreal” look works, but for me, other than that, I can’t stand it.

Big agreement. used to be that CGI was the ‘filler’ used to enhance the story. Lately it seems the reverse. a bunch of computer geeks trying to out impress each other with their keyboard skills and then if you’re lucky, someone occasionally remembers to try to add a freaking story line…
The new Star Wars trilogy did it for me. It was nothing but CGI and I had a hell of a time trying to decipher the story. Finally gave up.
