There's a great channel with a series "No CGI is really just Invisable CGI" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB6ZABC2cArGjau4AyBMqVg Talks about how movies are trying to advertise with no CGI, but still use it everywhere.
That and Corridor Crew going behind the scenes showing how much work the artist out into the movies, just for the directors to talk about how everything was in frame and that.
Hell, Godzilla (2014) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) had a similar amount of CGI shots, it was just hidden so well.
They never said "No CGI", they said there "No green screen"
Of course Godzilla had CGI, you know it's not a real animal right
Read that sentence again, you missed the point being made.
I was making a joke 😅
I'll only ever watch Hail Mary if they flew out to a real star and met an alien there. Everything else would be fake.
