There’s a decent chunk of people that watch them solely for the bleeding edge CGI technology.
Others that like those kinds of stories. Nothing in the story is unique. Avatar, Pocahontas, Dances With Wolves, and numerous others are all fundamentally the same story told in different ways. There’s a reason these stories keep being told and people still like watching them.
This is me, I went along when invited by friends to see the graphics.
This one wasn’t worth it, there’s been no advancement since 2. And since most of the filming has been done for 4 and 5 already, I’m not expecting them to show any technology growth either.
I saw it in a Dolby theater rather than IMAX. I don’t think IMAX would have made enough difference to change my mind.

Native Americans are still not ok. And archetypes will always work. People NEED these stories to be retold.
At least “bleeding edge” CGI would be funny, like the fucked-up Peter Cushing in Rogue One.
Rushed CGI is different, doesn’t matter if it’s bleeding edge or not.

My wife likes these movies, I don’t mind them because it’s nice to watch the CGI.
