I can agree that the context is what is screwing up the CGI. I think if the CGI were used more in space and he were to actually create sets and characters like he once did, it would work a lot better. The problem with the new movies, IMHO, is that nothing is believable because it's all so intangible. It's not there and the lack of interaction between the live actors and the setting and characters around them shows as a result. None of the actors "touch" anything around them because, when filming a scene, nothing is there for them to see to be able to touch. And everything has this sterile and impersonal feel to me as a result. GL just got lazy. Plain and simple.
