The slick, vanilla cgi effects of cinema these days is still as dead and sterile as it was in the beginning of cgi. All that has changed is that the image is more crisp and there are more details. Still, the orchestrated camera movements and the spectacular attack action scenes in superhero movies seem rigid and smoothed out like a totally over-photoshopped Vanity cover.
