Hmm... I didn't find Avatar's CGI "jarring," and I'm not sure what you mean by the "silver sheen." Certainly CGI is still not perfect when mixed with live action, and I had no problem distinguishing one from the other, but I had no trouble suspending my disbelief and just enjoying the ride (which may explain why I didn't notice a "silver sheen"). In the same way, I can enjoy purely CGI movies like The Incredibles, or a more character-driven story like Solaris or Minority Report. Obviously, if you're not into SF or fantasy, these won't work for you no matter how they're made.
