CGI, when overused, can really detract from what could be a very impressive scene IMO. however, more importantly, all those relentless 'making of...' docu-plugs that clog up the cheap late-night schedules are getting really boring:

"well bob, however did you get this amazing scene looking like it did?"
"why, we just slapped it into a horrendously expensive computer and locked a team of generic graphic-monkeys in there until they produced something that looked kinda real, but more vomit inducing, and it's gonna look pretty rubbish in a year or two!"
"uh, anything else?"
"hell no. it's easier to just kidnap us a geek posse and keep shoving donuts under the door until our budget runs out".
