CGI and the movies

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This year, for the first time, I feel that in many of the action movies, the characters, plot/story line and other traditional stuff are simply the vehicles used in order to string together a series of costly and elaborate CGI special effects. In short, the CGI has become the movie and the plot, cast and characters are just the excuse for doing and getting fans to watch the CGI sequences.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? I would still like to live in a place where the CGI supports the cast/characters/story and plot development.

Interestingly some of the all-CGI movies (i.e. Ratatouille) hsave done a better job of story/plot/character than have the recent live-action movies.
