I was on the side of modern music against autotune critics in the last thread, and find myself against the pro-CGI "modern movies are fine" narrative in this one, interesting. For me it feels like visual effects set the bar higher for greater spectacle. It's more easily to be jaded by spectacular effects and to become accustomed to them. (I'm also pickier towards films, often imagining how imagery could have looked better or the story could have been told different.) It also feels like we're in an era where many Hollywood films can easily have access to great cinematography, stunning aerial shots of natural vista, etc.- and then it just ends up looking like Mac wallpapers. So many films can have that National Geographic documentary look, even arthouse pictures like say The Green Knight. Is it just easier to film on location than it used to be?
