this article is titled, "Has life in the age of casual magic made moviegoers numb to the amazing?". this article is about how there is no incentive to filmmakers working in science fission and fantasy to actually craft something that pushes the envelope i terms of narrative. first it gives an example witch happens to be my favorite person of all time, Tim Burton. and his movie, Alice in Wonderland 2. it explains how it was an awful movie but the animation and video effects were outstanding. they're showing you 200 million dollars worth of visual effects which translates from culture to culture, distracting away from the actual movie.
while reading this article, i learned that visual effects play a key role to having a movie be a hit or not one at all. i also learned that the audience perspective means a lot to the visual aspect of a film as well.
an opinion i have about this article is that i don't agree with this statement. i feel as though people tend to focus more on the story and don't pay attention to all the little details put into it. if the movie has a good hook, it keeps you interested on whats going to happen, not just on the background and the effects happening in it. i also thought this article could have provided more examples to back of this theory.
one question i have while reading this article is if this is a real thing, why isn't there alterations in solving this problem?
