Maybe people are getting tired of massive CGI effects that essentially make every movie a cartoon. I was watching Terminator the other day and my son was riveted to the screen. Good action and little or no CGI. I even pointed out to him how the guy in the truck on fire was really on fire! Not some guy standing in front of a green screen with computer generated fire on him with a starbucks latte waiting on a nearby table..
Done right, CGI works. Yes, there’s a line where the movie becomes all about the sturm und drang of the CGI and loses the plot.
For others, it works just fine.
There was little or no CGI when Terminator was made. The film is filled with visual and special effects - mostly involving models and miniatures - which is the way effects were done in the days before 0101010101111000s...
