Because my first reaction to your example is No! That one's plastic! In part because of a comparison set posted by Rowan Greene back in TA thread II:
This popped up for Shortcut, (because I'm not sure the image will show up, even though I can see it in the preview - it's the 2000/2013 pic towards the bottom of the page) but this is Rowan Greene's quote (and pics?):
Because when you see him in the vlogs or random behind the scenes pictures, he looks more like the LoTR Legolas/Orlando--he looks normal. So what was with all the eyeliner and CGI distortions?
I miss the LoTR Legolas. 
But that 2013 image above (and the image in the post I'm responding to) looks very similar to the one in your very next post, and that one doesn't look uncanny valley to me. So I guess it's kinda like that definition of Science Fiction: Science Fiction is what I'm pointing at when I say "science fiction." My Plastic/UncannyValley must be a few clicks out of synch with yours - but we both know it's a problem that could easily be fixed with just a little less CGI-ing of the facial features. 
(Looking at that "image in the very next post" again, I'm thinking the difference in coloring and lighting might have pulled it out of Uncanny Valley for me. And that's still probably down to CGI...)
