【标题】When CGI is too perfect, it ruins the movie for me 【正文】 Okay, I have to get this off my chest. I just re-watched that final battle in *Avengers: Endgame*, and I had a weird thought.

The CGI is absolutely insane, like, technically flawless. But part of me felt. . . nothing It was just a sensory overload of colors and metal guys punching each other.

Compare that to the practical effects in *The Lord of the Rings* all those years ago. You could *feel* the weight of those swords, the grime on the armor.

It felt real, and that made the emotional stakes so much higher. This isn’t just about being nostalgic.

I saw a new sci-fi movie last week (won’t name names), and the spaceships looked so slick and clean, they might as well have been floating PowerPoint animations.

There was no sense of scale or danger. It completely took me out of the story. I found myself just analyzing the effects instead of being immersed in the plot.

Does anyone else do this You’re just sitting there thinking, “Huh, that’s a well-rendered dragon,” instead of being scared of the dragon And it’s not just the big blockbusters.

I feel like even smaller films are relying too much on CGI for simple things. A car driving down a street, a simple background etension. . .

sometimes it just has this slightly “off” look that my brain immediately flags as fake. It’s like the uncanny valley for environments.

The pursuit of visual perfection is somehow making things feel less authentic. I remember reading about how they did the practical effects for the chestburster scene in *Alien*.

The shock on the actors’ faces was genuine because something was actually happening on set! You can’t CGI that kind of raw, human reaction. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not some anti-technology grump.

When it’s used well, it’s magic. Think about *Gravity* or *Dune*. The VF in those films served the story and created a believable, awe-inspiring world.

You weren’t distracted by it; you were consumed by it. The key seems to be a balance, you know Using CGI as a tool to enhance, not replace, the physical reality of a scene.

So, what do you all think Am I just being overly sensitive Are there movies where you thought the CGI actually *hurt* the story Or on the flip side, what’s a recent movie where you thought the effects were so seamless they genuinely elevated your eperience Let’s talk about it, because this is something that really shapes how we connect with films these days.
