blending a ton of different camera techniques within the same action scene, seamlessly and while showing every meticulous detail of the fight, was the perfect antithesis to the quick-cut-can't-see-anything action that has dominated the last 20 years.

Didn't read the article and I assume the headline was overstating things. But that's certainly becoming possible.
Reminded me of that movie The Congress from a few years ago, where a future Robin Wright (in the story) sells the rights to a digital version of herself to be used in movies after her human self is washed up.

Several other shows/movies are starting to use this technology, and it still doesn't shake that digital fuzz/flat visual look in most applications. Still, there's zero question it's a game changer and will be heavily implemented going forward.
We've never seen digital de-aging on that scale before. Even if you gripe with the odd shot or two, so much of it works so incredibly well.
ILM developed new tech for the movie to capture the face that didn't involve giant rigs attached to the head, so the actors could still feel like they're giving real intimate performances.
It was also done specifically for a non-action/sci-fi implementation, which is huge for its implications for cinematic storytelling going forward.
