This short video talks about how despite the fact that CGI capabilities are getting better, movies are getting less and less realistic when it comes to special effects.
This captures my feelings to a tee. It's the exact reason I don't really care about a movie like Avatar. Yes it's very pretty and nice to look at... but it just doesn't make me suspend disbelief because I know it's not real. I miss some of the grittiness and perceived tangibility that older effects had. Hopefully Hollywood will keep working on this and recognize that shinier isn't always better.
