Re: CGI is killing sci-fi

Yes probably, but there would be no need for it if the studios would sort out the stories first.

I'm not looking for soul wrenching depth in every film I watch. I mean I really enjoyed GOTG a lot and it's nonsense but it worked.

Whereas the slow motion chase in Last Jedi should have had the Benny Hill tune playing over it, a petulant child somehow head of a galactically successful empire and many other farcical things. It nuked the fridge for me.

Those other films I mentioned were confusing and boring or just plain boring.

they all smacked of a director that couldn't see the wood for the trees or more specifically a screen writer with talent to say "that doesn't work, try this".
