    CGI. When people say “there was too much CGI” they just mean “there was bad CGI” because the good stuff is imperceptible.

      And often that’s not because the CGI itself is bad quality, but because the effects team was asked to do the impossible with half the tools necessary. The “fix it in post” mentality.

      Even small things like having reference lighting examples from the set can be the difference between an okay outcome and something almost imperceptible.
