That's what was so refreshing about Top Gun Maverick. It was mostly practical effects instead of CGI overload.

- corrral 4y agoFury Road, too. As a viewer I'm getting sick of CG action. It's striking how we've gone from action scenes that are improbable, to action scenes that are completely impossible, in terms of the perfection with which humans execute their parts in them, not in terms of stuff like Sci-fi elements. You watch older car chase scenes in something like Bullitt and they're over the top, but not impossible, because despite using movie magic to string together separate shots into one long sequence a real human did actually have to do most of the driving, in a real car and using a finite amount of film—but are at like 1% the insanity and intensity of a car chase scene in a Marvel movie or Fast & the Furious or something. There are little grounding imperfections and limitations in older action movies that CG and super-cheap digital shooting & editing have destroyed. I often check out for the interminable action scenes in Marvel films because they're just boring, for reasons both narrative and technical, which is the exact opposite of what an action scene ought to be.
