I think the modern reliance on CGI is a big misstep. I'm not against the technology per se and it's fine in small doses but I think it's overused. CGI should be used when the technology means that it's nearly indistinguishable from non-CGI. We're not really there yet and I think it'll be a while till we are.
Thing is 15 - 20 years down the line we're probably going to look at Transformers and their ilk as rather ugly.
