The plot lines are dead. Hollywood has zero originality in plots lately. They think consumers go to theaters to see special effects on a big screen, but the reality is the more special effects a movie has the more dull to non-existent the plot is.
- aurareturn 2y agoI think research shows that this is the opposite. People reserve going to the movie theater for big expensive releases. They get "plot line" shows and movies for a low fee on Netflix or free on some streaming service.
- Brajeshwar 2y agoSpecial effects when done right make the movie a lot more watchable. There is a decade-old movie (besides many others), Oblivion, which I can re-watch repeatedly. The effects there seem to have been done with the right purpose and meaning. Of course, there are a lot more but this is the one I remember from my recent re-watch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film)
- magicalhippo 2y agoAgree on Oblivion, also like it a lot and rewatch it from time to time. Saw The Abyss[1] at the big screen recently, and that too held up very well in terms of special effects, despite being 35 years old and breaking CGI ground when it was released.
