You can see a clear cut between sf and fantasy authors who grew up with modern cinema(80's and up) and those before. Movies have hijacked the way to write novels. Actions scenes, descriptions, etc.Just compare Dunsany and Sanderson for example.

Haven't read Dunsany (yet), but I'm quite a fan of Sanderson, and it's really clear how much writing has changed in recent years. I'm not someone who "sees" the things they read, but Sanderson's novels really do feel like a movie with more details.
