Back to what you were saying about CG.
For example, here's a cheesy Godzilla movie but it's all live-action with real models, etc. and I still think it looks a lot better and cooler than a lot of today's CG. At least it feels inspiring that those are real explosions happening and real things that people built are getting destroyed. Mecha Godzilla looks badass in everything it's doing, even when it's just standing still. The jet on the other hand is CG and is intrinsically boring nomatter what it does.
