I don't mind computer generated images, though they tend to look like little blobs when showing masses of people or animals dashing in the background.
Location filming is cheaper than creating sets at a studio, experts say, and according to experts, audiences today will not accept sound stage outdoor scenes.
As I watched WHITE CHRISTMAS, much of the outdoor scenes are on a soundstage and no one would mistake those shots as on location. That doesn't lessen my enjoyment of the film.
I have seen many theater shows and obviously you don't think you are on location. I'm wondering if people who think audiences will not settle for sound stage simulated outdoor location scenes have not watched many theater productions? On very rare occasions, I've thought a location shot would have worked better on a soundstage-the sets designed to focus your attention on the action, whereas a location shot- sometimes the background is more interesting than the action. I noticed the latter while watching DR. ZHIVAGO.
I have a question, are computer generated images animation? If not what makes animation different?

The idea of audiences no longer accepting sound stage scenes substituting for outdoors reminded me of the choice Martin Scorsese made to film New York, New York (1977) almost entirely that way, I'm assuming as an homage to films of that era, the 1940's-1950's. The opening scene takes place in Times Square and It's obviously a studio set. I especially noticed it in a scene at a motel cabin colony when it was obvious that the trees in the background were cut-outs, which was most noticeable when the camera followed movement in the foreground, also giving a different perspective to the background trees, so you could see the one-dimensionality. I remember thinking at the time that I'd caught Scorsese in a faux pas, but now I'm sure it was exactly what he wanted us to see and I appreciate it all the more, because I love all those old films with fake trees too.
