To be fair, a lot of movies in theaters have uncanny valleys. A lot of CGI feels that way to me.

The limits of CGI have gotten so good that if you are noticing the CGI, it's b/c someone skimped on the budget for the particular movie where you saw the uncanny valley.

(Of course, excluding the obvious "that guy just knocked down a building!" CGI)

Yeah that's the thing, with good execution of a plausible effect you don't even realize you're looking at CGI. It's the toupée fallacy.
