Computer generated effects changed filmmaking forever, opening doors that practical production could never fully unlock. But that freedom also created a new dependency. Some films leaned so heavily on digital work that the texture of real environments started to fade, leaving scenes that felt like they had nothing behind them. Instead of enhancing storytelling, the visuals sometimes became the main focus, pulling attention away from everything else happening on screen.
