So, it’s basically just the same story with a few additional colors. Whatever.

Also, I’m going to repeat the same critique I had when the trailer for the water one came out. The animation and visual effects are impressive, but they aren’t meaningfully more impressive than the first one. So, you’ve got basically the same story, with basically the same characters, in basically the same environment, with basically the same production value. I just don’t understand the appeal of this franchise.

That being said, I hope fans enjoy the movie.

Your critique has no dominion here, Lemming. /s Big fan of the franchise. Just want some escapism for a few hours.

A lot of people really hate these movies.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hate seems like a pretty strong reaction.

[–] SamuraiBeandog@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think they're just kind of a symbol for the shallowness of the movie industry, self indulgent pieces that are all budget and no art. I get it.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd call it the Michael Bay of Scifi Films but they literally put that guy in charge of the Transformers franchise, so there is already a literal Michael Bay of Scifi Films. Made a more apt example would be cake: if all food were cake we'd all be dying but that doesn't dismiss the value of cake.

If 90% of the world's food production was going towards making cake, would you be mad at the food industry and the people who only eat cake?

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe but I personally feel like the movie industry is very varied and rich with a lot of creativity, even if the AAA Hollywood sector is specifically 90% cake these days.

Gotta give that title to Marvel movies. Avatar actually seems like a passion project that pushes film technology to its limits. This internet hate-boner is so played out.

the jurassic park treatment ay?
