It's a different "magic" in recent films for sure. The images are visually pleasing, and have a kind of muscular, wet-and-glimmering look. The old concept of animating physical objects to make them look like they're inhabited by a spirit and behave/bleed like real animals has been absorbed into motion capture and animation rigs. We also used to love seeing people grow into new behaviours like luke in star wars. He was awkward and unsure of how he should act, and he grew into his new role as a jedi. Another example was Alan in Jurassic Park guiding people through the park by behaving in a manner that wouldn't get everyone eaten. But it's common for people to understand how to behave in action films and real life. The demand to see people learn a new set of behaviours, isn't such a strong pull to watch movies lately. I struggle to imagine what a new-and-improved look for animated bones and lifelike animatronics would be? An engineer could make them stronger, better, faster and move more smoothly, but the higher experience people could want.. I don't know what it could be.
