CGI stands for computer graphics imaging, doesn’t it?

I’m in a minority, but I think some of the computer graphic special effects look so fake, so obvious, that they themselves detract from a story.

Yeah, can’t say I’m a CGI fan either. It gets closer to convincing realism than older techniques but is never truly convincing. It winds up in the “uncanny valley” zone where it’s distracting because it’s close but not quite. I can relate to a puppet Yoda better than a CGI Yoda even though he’s obviously a puppet.
