> The quality of CGI, special effects, resolution, cameras, etc. are constantly improving

Aren't we already at a diminishing returns point though? In fact I think most people would agree there's lots of movies from 10 years ago with better CGI than many movies from last year. Better tools don't make up for rushing CGI through during post-production.

At some point we certainly get to completely photo realistic CGI where things don't become dated unless the viewing experience significantly changes in an incompatible way. Like the majority of movies becoming VR experiences but I wouldn't bet on a shift like that anytime in the next decade or two.
