The problem with CGI is it NEVER looks 100% real. There is a part of your brain that can tell what is real or not.

For example, Mine keeps telling me "Pixels! it's totally Pixels!" when the Hulk is on screen because the way he moves is not always 100% natural and the texture of his body seems "off" in a way I can't explain. Yet, my suspension of disbelief can counter that if it's done well enough.

The reason we like practical effects is because what we see is real and the people who work on that craft put hours of love and care into it. That's not to say CG doesn't.

It's hard to describe but...sometimes it just feels like it has a soul and life of its own in it rather that the cold heartless constructs of a machine. I guess its part uncanny valley and part Human pride and egotism. We don't want our reliance of machines to rob cinema of it's humanity and soul.
