Fury Road actually had a lot of CGI, but it was made to blend in with the practical effects. Here, yeah, I have my reservations about the spinning rear-end with the triple flail balls, but I have faith in George Miller.
I am cautiously excited about it. It has a lot to live up to but I worry that it will be more studio-driven, like Mad Max 3 was and like other movie such as Blair Witch 2 turned out to be. The presence of Chris Hemsworth doesn't do too much to assuage those fears.
They should just dump a pile of money at George Miller's feet and say "Do your thing," but in my experience, movie studios like to have demands attached.

If that had been a bunch of CGI, the movie wouldn't have been very good at all; certainly wouldn't have led to a prequel.
The trailer felt more like a Netflix series than a major movie. And ATJ's eyes are still spaced too far apart and she freaks me out.

Hope I'm wrong!
Phew, im not the only one. The trailer seemed to lack grit. The CGI is too clean. Mad Max needs to be dirtier. Love the franchise, but it's the grit that makes the franchise excellent.
