Visual noise from CGI has been a real problem since at least Transformers in 2007. That's my benchmark for it, the one where I really first remember the overwhelm being a distraction. "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" is a lesson that keeps needing to be relearned.

Yeah I can remember trying to watch Transformers and being worried that my brain was too slow to process all the visual information.
The movie was awful because it looked filmed at a low frame rate and they cut between views every frame or two. It was a mess to figure out who was fighting who.
