Why is it Ok for a movie to have a horrible story and characters as long as there are lots of effects? I have never understood this logic. Is there a reason it cant have lots of effects AND a good story?
Because the Himalayas probably won't be flooded any time soon and a giant ship likely won't crash into the White House in my lifetime. I can, however, pay 10 bucks and see a pretty damn good facsimile of these events. It's worth it sometimes.
Ok fine I can see wanting to see that stuff, but it doesn't answer my question. Why cant the movie be made to show those things AND have a good story.
Here is why, people let them off the hook over and over again. They have been tricked into thinking that the two things CANNOT go together for some reason so they accept it as fact.
My point is why do you accept that as fact let alone somehow a good thing.
