I'm a 4th year film student and I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, Hollywood is and always has been an industry based on money, and technology is often pushed more than aesthetic content. Lets hope a few of the kiddies with access to all this lovely equipment actually use it for something meaningful.
The bad side of this cinematic tech boom is the fact that more and more people are producing crappy content. I can't count the number of horrid movies I've seen with that make use of generic after effects plugins and tacky dissolves. Cinema tech for the sake of tech isn't original, it's amatuer.
