I respectfully disagree. CGI do not exist as real things. Matte paintings (and models) are real - they can be touched. They have unintentional flaws that add to their reality.

Flaws like brushstrokes? Let me know the next time you see brushstrokes IRL.

CGI are only bits of data. The human mind revolts at CGI as something intrinsically unreal.

Revolts? Revolts? The fact that people enjoyed Avatar is a great counterexample. People "revolt" (still too strong a word) when CGI is unrealistic, when something is off. But things like Avatar and Gollum have done a great job of showing that it can be done well.

Between CGI and 3D garbage, I have found myself completely disinterested in every "blockbuster" film that comes down the pipes these days. When the acting and story are good, it actually makes things worse.

I'm not convinced you're an unbiased observer.
