I’ve noticed after reading the MPAA’s theatrical market statistics for 2010 that there has been a 5% decline in the number of tickets
sold per year. The lowest it has been since 2008. Its crazy, even though there are so many
factors that contribute to the loss in sales, one that is starting to arise is
I think people are getting tired of the big budget movies that have high CG and
baldy written features. Everything is becoming so unoriginal and the studios
are using way too many special effects and aren’t providing enough content
(story, acting, direction).
Out of the MPAA’s top 25 films by US/Canada Box Office Earing’s
only three films on the list were low on special effects. The top three however
were Avartar, Toy Story, and Alice in Wonderland. These movies were great and
looked amazing but only to compensate for the average acting and undeveloped
plot; the director just relies on the visual effects to dazzle the audience,
not the actor.
Look, it cost enough to go to the movies at least make them
worth watching. Taking computer graphics to add a little something to the film
is not harmful. Movies like ET, Back to the Future, and Lord of the Rings have
a story that you can connect to and gets you into the movie by the effects and
the actors.
