yes, I was going to say the same thing as a general response to the article in the OP. Even apart from the suspension of disbelief thing, CGI is very constraining in terms of the shots you can make, it all has to fit on a soundstage. It's paradoxical but while you can make a fantastic setting, it is also very constraining on the cinematography itself. Sadly, I think most people don't really care about any of this, they just want to switch off for an hour and a half. I always feel isolated about this among my friends and family, I already get lots of time mindlessly staring at a screen reading some HN article or Reddit or clicking aimlessly through wikipedia, if I'm gonna watch TV or a movie then I want it to be something highbrow, not the latest MCU trash or whatever. If I'm gonna sit on the couch and scroll through my phone, I'd rather be scrolling on my PC instead, thanks.
