This is what makes some recent movies (like Mad Max Fury Road) so much more intense.
The director has intentionally decided to not use CGI for anything which can be done with real vehicles and real actors.
And unlike the Marvel superhero snore-fest, it actually looks and feels real, because it is real. And your mind can tell. This makes you actually care.
CGI is instead just used for matte painting, to touch up the scenes or scenery, rather than compose core of the shot. And the result looks brilliant.

So yeah. Less CGI please and more restraint.
