A lot of newer, fancier cg in movies and games is deep in the uncanny valley for me. I can’t watch/play for more than 15 minutes without realizing I’m in a game that doesn’t look right, it’s distracting.

I suppose the tech can’t get across the valley without first passing through it

No they are just getting cheaper with their CGI...not better, i would bet that if someone would invest the money and time as they did in the 90-00 we would be absolutely astonished.

There's a lot of uncanny CGI in modern movies. There's also a lot of CGI that is so perfectly realistic you have no idea it isn't real. This is usually more environmental and less characters.

If the tech gets past the uncanny valley then you'll never know. This is basically true by definition. :)

No they’ll tell me

(And I’ll probably not agree, but if I do they’re still going to tell me, trust me they haven’t stopped telling me)
