I agree but I'd add that cheap digital shooting brought the cost down from film-tier to video-tier for takes and shoots. That, CGI, and its handmaiden, green screening, have all contributed to a film making culture that knows that reshoots, retakes, and taking 300 takes of every scene is basically how things can be done. And if something's gone wrong you can fix it in post. The ultimate effect is a haunting, soulless empty feeling, like a movie is a pantomime of what could have been even at the best.
