Apparently, increasingly the vogue for directors these days is a return to practical effects, prompted by a horrible last 10 years for CGI and recent advances in animatronics. Recent notable example: the rectangular android in Inception. 100% real. Actually exists. Personally, I for one have not seen a good effect in eons. Worst is when the story or the film in general doesn't necessitate CGI but they use it anyway as a time-saving measure - like the cars driving through rome in Spectre (helicopter shot). Not real and noticeably so. No need. CGI used to add to the magic of film. Now it subtracts from it.
