CGI is fine as long as the directors acknowledge that the technology isn't perfect yet. The main problem with a lot of CGI movies is that it gives this false sense of no limitations. The best CGI based movies work within the limitations they have.
Movies like Starship Troopers, Jurrasic Park and Terminator 2 all combined the best special effects of the time with plenty of other neat little tricks and older technologies. The pace scenes in Starship troopers used special effects imposed over actual models for the ships. Jurrasic park jumped between CGI and animatronics, and Terminator 2 used all kinds of different techniques for their effects. And these sorts of movies effects hold up tremendously well, while films like the Starwars Prequels looked like trash from day one because complete and utter trust was put in the power of CGI.
The Host really suprised me with how well the CGI monster interacted with the real environment. Especially in the crowd scenes.
