The latest installment in George Miller’s celebrated action franchise debuted Wednesday night.

I think the Cannes crowd are a strange bunch anyway. They gave Dial of Destiny a 5-minute standing ovation, so make of that what you will. (PS I though DoD was great but a standing ovation!?)

    Bad CGI takes my immersion away from the actors and story and breaks my ability to enjoy the not-CGI shit, so that essay you wrote is wrong.

    Well my point was that perhaps your “immersion” (and others’ or the current culture too) is excessively sensitive to the apparent “quality” of the CGI, not that your immersion was never affected. IMO, it’s a mentality and expectations thing, not a “right/wrong” “what is objectively good cinema” thing.
