Re: CGI is killing sci-fi
CGI isn't killing films it's weak directors with big egos using it to fill in the gaps they've created.
I've been thinking about this recently having watched quite a few films I found very disappointing but were highly rated by professional reviewers (Last Jedi, Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent).
I think the studios are pandering to directors and letting director take over story writing. I (IMHO) think we need a resurgence of screenwriters who can sort out the bloody story before letting director loose with the CGI whizzbangs.
A film with poor effects but a good story is still be a good film.
A film with great effects but a poor story is more likely to be crap
