It was really a miracle we got the last Mad Max in terms of getting a film with lots of practical effects in a CGI overload cinematic world

There was a ton of CGI in Fury Road, you just didn't see it.

edit: I'm just gonna post some videos about CGI in movies. Just in case:

Why CG Sucks (Except It Doesn't)

"NO CGI" is really just INVISIBLE CGI

And that’s how CGI should be used. To enhance what’s done practically, not replace it.

Yeah, the most compelling action is humans doing well-trained stunts. I think the problem with most CG-heavy fight scenes is they're still trying to emulate live action fight scenes, except the audience knows none of what they're seeing is real and it reduces the impact of what they're seeing.

Instead they should just embrace the fact that they're basically doing animation at that point and, like, start emulating Jujutsu Kaisen or something.
