CGI is killing sci-fi

Too much of it, and stupid plots and storylines.

While reboots, remakes, and sequels are an appalling display of lack of ideas.

When special effects were difficult and expensive, directors had to fill the time between them with a story...

PS: sci-fi and horror are orthogonal, they can intersect, but a sci-fi movie has not to be an horror movie. And too much sci-fi of late it's just at that intersection point, and it's boring.
