In ATOC, Minority Report the blur-edged blue screen effect kinda gives an out-of-this-world, hyper-realistic quality to the image. So it works on these films.
In DAD, however, it's Bond fighting a villian on a running tank. It's Jinx jumping into the ocean from the cliff. With blurred edges, I don't know whether I should treat them as FX shots, or just a subliminal "don't-try-this-at-home" message. Too fake (as opposed to "believable", not "realistic") to me, even for Bond.
Besides, blue screen fxs don't always look fake. Think Forest Gump. Think True Lies. I wouldn't know the terrorist jumping-on-a-plane scene is blue screen if I didn't watch the demo at the Oscar. Even the blue screen FX in The Matrix is believable.
